Dark Horse will also have signings at booth #801 and will have plenty of free stuff, but only while supplies last (read: Get there EARLY). Also worth mentioning is that, as usual, if any of the above events have to be changed or cancelled for any reason, Dark Horse reserves the right to do so. Comic Cons can be crazy places kids, you never know what might happen…
