SDCC 23: IDW reveals list of panels and signings, including Star Trek, Turtles and more

It’s getting up to be a packed San Diego Comic Con for publisher IDW, which will be bringing some of its biggest licenses for signings and panels.

Big names, big talent

While we probably can’t say we’re almost there, Comic Con is fairly close at this point, being less than two weeks out. Some of the biggest names have already been confirmed for the show, and that includes a list of talent and licenses that’ll be making the trip courtesy of IDW.

The comic book publisher will have a number of artists and writers on hand for autograph sessions, as well as a full list of panels. All of the above will be taking place throughout the Con, with all of the signings being held at the booth itself (#2729).

It’s a pretty packed list, and one that touches on nearly all of the publisher’s titles. So if you’re going you might want to grab a pen and start allocating your time.
