BrutalGamer Bringing you Brutally Honest feedback from today's entertainment industry.
Always one of the most impressive booths at SDCC, Dark Horse Comics is back and ready to roll with a full spread of signings.
Going Dark… Horse
Still one of the biggest and most popular independent labels in the comics world, Dark Horse seems poised for another huge Comic Con. That will be taking place this week of course, as the big San Diego show kicks off on Wednesday, and for DHC fans, it’s going to be loaded.
Housed in booth #2915, Dark Horse will have a complete slate of signings, panels, and freebies. While the specifics of the latter two categories will be coming in separate posts, we can tell you here that fans can look for a full roster of panels on some of the company’s best-loved properties. And as for merch, look for DHC to serve up “comics, posters, and more”.
As for those signings, the list if voluminous to say the least. Just a word of warning though, before we get to the monster-sized list of advertised sessions, because you will need wristbands to get in on a few of them. Also along this same lines, some signings have specific rules (like no posed photos), so check below for the full notes before you go.
DARK HORSE SDCC 2025 SIGNING SCHEDULE
All creators signing in our booth offer their autographs for FREE. At Dark Horse booth signings, FREE cards or poster prints are provided (while supplies last). Select books, comics, products, and convention exclusives can be purchased at our booth, or you can bring your own items to be signed; however, we may limit the type or number of items to be signed as necessary. See details for each signing below.
WRISTBAND INFO: Some signings require a wristband for entry, as noted on the schedule. Drawings for wristbands for these events will begin when the exhibit hall opens to the public the day before and the day of each signing, and will end when all allotted wristbands have been given out.Come to the Dark Horse booth early (9:30 am is when the exhibit hall opens, though be prepared for earlier entry at the convention’s discretion!) for wristband drawings and for the best chance to attend these events.
Note: Dark Horse does not begin distributing wristbands until attendees enter the hall; exhibitors cannot get in line or draw for wristbands earlier than fan attendees.
Dark Horse Comics press release
Lines may also be closed for some signings due to crowding or time restrictions.
All events are subject to change, and some restrictions apply. Please see Dark Horse Comics staff at the booth if you have questions.
