They’re all pretty solid on that list, but that Transformers #100 is as can’t miss as it gets if you’re a fan of the Robots in Disguise.

Also worth mentioning are the signings on tap for the event. Basically, if you’re a fan of a book that the company publishes, then there’s more likely than not something here for you to line up for to get something signed by one of the writers and/or artists. Seriously, there’s a ton of signings ready for the show including TMNT, G.I. Joe, America’s Army, Mars Attacks!, Transformers, and more. Get your schedules ready…
