SDCC ’26: DC unleashes huge list of talent for in-booth signings

DC has unleashed a jumbo list of talent that’ll be attending the booth to dish out signatures. And in with the expected names are some surprises too.

DC writers, artists… wrestlers… and dogs?

It’s almost Comic Con time once again, and this year DC looks to be setting up to have a mighty presence. At least it looks that way to us, as we just got a look at the list of talent stopping by the booth (#4544). This year’s stable of writers and artists will be suitably full, with a who’s-who list of attendees.

Names onboard include the likes of Rafael Grampá, Bill Sienkiewicz, Jim Lee, Jeph Loeb, and both Scott Snyder and Matt Fraction from the Batman team. Those are some huge comics-centric names for sure, but they’re not all that’ll be on tap. As we hinted at above, there are some faces that you wouldn’t expect too. And some of those aren’t even people.

DC will have a special AEW themed signing on Friday, which will include two of the biggest names in that promotion. Those in attendance can queue up to meet both Orange Cassidy and Swerve Strickland. Though we’ll add that both of those men are decidedly human.

The very next day though, Clark, Lois, Krypto, Kara, and Lobo will be there. No, we don’t mean the comics characters themselves. We’re talking about some very good boys and girls, with the “DC Litter” from Guide Dogs of America. The pooches will be in the booth for an evening happening, from 4pm to 6pm. Yes, these canines are working pros, but we figure that’s still gonna be cuteness overload.

As for the rest of what’s planned, scroll down the page for the full listing of events, straight from DC.
