Dark Horse Builds Characters: Tomorrow’s Comics
Today
Room 24ABC
Nearly thirty years ago, Dark Horse arrived with an agenda different
from that of any other publisher in comics. The young company was founded on
the belief that comics creators should have the option to retain the rights to
their own work, and it continues to be a highly fertile breeding ground for new
characters, concepts, and more! Now, the publisher is poised to make headlines
again with some of the biggest news about new original work since Frank Miller
brought Sin City to the pages of Dark Horse Presents! Join panelists for an
exclusive look at upcoming and unannounced creator-owned work from some of the
biggest names in and outside the industry! This will be the comics panel
everyone will be talking about at this year’s show!

city. Released from jail, Setrakian begins his own merciless plan to stop the
spread of the disease. Written by Chuck Hogan; directed by David Semel. After
the screening, join series creators Guillermo del Toro (Pacific Rim) and Chuck
