NYCC ’25: Signings, panels, and more on tap from IDW

Publisher IDW is heading for NYCC next week, and in a big way. Fans can look for a cavalcade of happenings from the company.

Panels and signings, all on the IDW docket

One of the bigger independent publishers in comics, IDW has been around for a long time. These days, they’re sporting some massive titles too, including the juggernaut that is its Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series.

On that note, you’d best believe that the TMNT will be factoring into the company’s NYCC plans. The property will hardly be alone though, as this is shaping up to be a pretty big Con for the company. The show, which goes down this coming week, will see a full schedule of IDW-hosted signings and panels.

Starting with the former, fans can expect some huge names. The likes of Art Adams, Tom Scioli, Tim Seeley, and more will all be signing in the booth at various times on the first day. That’s booth #4551, for those who are making out their plans. Friday will pick things up from there, and there’ll be additional sessions in place for every day of the show following.

Paneled for the Con

As for panels, the list isn’t quite as long as the above collection of signings, but it’s nothing to sneeze at either. The events begin with Art Day on Wednesday, October 8th. That won’t be on-site at the Javits Center, but will be held in the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Library at 455 Fifth Ave in NYC. Nick Bertozzi (12:30pm – 1:15pm) will lead off for the day, followed by Dani Diaz (1:30pm – 2:30pm), Kazimir Lee ((2:45pm – 3:45pm), Tracy Yardley (4pm – 5pm), Ben Wickey (5:15pm – 6:15pm), and Patrick Horvath (6:30pm – 7:30pm).

After that, events jump to Friday the 10th, when what looks to be the company’s biggest panel is set. That show will look into the future of the TMNT at IDW, and touts Dan Watters, Tim Seeley, Sarah Myer, Andrew Joustra, and editor Jake Thomas. Look for that to kick off at 5:15pm in Javits’ room 1C03.

There’s another panel coming up as well, with a focus on pop culture star and writer George Takei. That listing doesn’t offer a time or date just yet though, so stay tuned.

Don’t forget the goods

For those attending NYCC, panels and signings are usually just half the fun. Not that they’re not great in and of themselves, since meeting the creative teams from your favorite books, and heading all about what’s coming down the line is pretty terrific. That said though, it’s always nice taking something home with you that you can’t buy anywhere else.

Yes, we’re referring to exclusives. And as we’ve reported in the past, IDW will have plenty of those in the booth for New York Comic Con 2025. Fans will be able to find exclusives featuring the TMNT, Star Trek, 30 Days of Night, Return to Sleepy Hollow, Street Sharks, The Twilight Zone, and way more.
