NYCC 2014: IDW confirms show schedule

It’s crunch time for NYCC 2014 as the show opens up tomorrow (Thursday the 9th) and IDW has a packed schedule set to deliver panels galore and signings you won’t want to miss.

This is really an impressive lineup of talent that IDW has prepped for NYCC. Among the best signings happen gin right in the booth on the show floor (and can’t miss according to me) are tomorrow’s Star Trek panel (Trek vs Planet of the Apes!), Dungeons & Dragons and TMNT on Friday, and… well, way too many to list on the weekend including G.I.Joe, Skylanders, X-Files, more Trek, and Transformers.

As for panels, IDW has some huge ones planned including all things horror, happening tomorrow, their big Hasbro blowout on Friday, and twin spotlights on both writers and artists on Saturday. One of my personal favorite publishers, IDW pumps out classic characters in some of the coolest books hitting stands on a monthly basis right now. If you get the chance hit their booth and have a peek at what they’re doing, I doubt you’ll be disappointed.

Now grab your schedule one more time because here’s the list of what you won’t want to miss out on:
