NYCC schedule

I tried to put in here everything we have scheduled at the New York show. If we're not eating or on a meeting (most meetings happen during meals for us, so it's all basically always eating breaks), you'll be able to find us at our tables on Artists' Alley (L1 and L2).

Thursday, October 4th

11 AM-12PM signing at the DC booth
Do you know where the DC booth is? Can you tell us? Will you be there to hold our hands? We'll sign your comic and smile at you.

3:00 PM-3:50 PM: signing at the Dark Horse booth
This is the signing where we'll both be there. Bá will sign again at the Dark Horse booth, but this is your only chance to get me there, along with all the creative team of the Stranger Things comic (I made an convention exclusive cover for it).

Friday, October 5th

We'll be at our tables on Artists Alley most of the day. From 2PM til 6 PM for sure.

7:30 PM–9:30 PM: NETFLIX & CHILLS
(Main Stage 1D)
Meet the cast of the highly anticipated Umbrella Academy Netflix series! Let's see how wonderful these actors are, specially how much bigger than everyone else Tom Hopper (the guy who's playing Spaceboy) is.

8:30 PM: the Harvey Awards
(Shop Studios, 528, West 39th Street, Third Floor)
It's our first time ever attending the Harvey Awards, and we're not even nominated to anything, so NO PRESSURE, JUST FUN! (also, it's the only chance to catch us outside the convention center in case you don't have a badge)

Saturday, October 6th

12:00 PM-12:50 PM: THE UMBRELLA ACADEMY signing at the Dark Horse booth
Gerard Way, Gabriel Bá
WRISTBAND REQUIRED NO POSED PHOTOGRAPHY
LIMIT ONE PRINT, ONE OTHER ITEM PER PERSON
OTHER RESTRICTIONS MAY APPLY—SEE STAFF FOR INFO

This is Bá's second signing at Dark Horse. It's tougher to get in because of the wristband.

1:45 PM–2:45 PM: THE UMBRELLA ACADEMY INVITES YOU TO CHECK IN TO “HOTEL OBLIVION” (Room 1A06)
After ten years, The Umbrella Academy is back in action! With the new comics series, The Umbrella Academy: Hotel Oblivion kicking off and a live action series arriving on Netflix in early 2019, Dark Horse Comics is thrilled to invite fans to a conversation with series creators Gerard Way and Gabriel Bá as we explore the weird, wonderful world of The Umbrella Academy.
(This is a big room. Don't be shy and come talk abou Umbrella with us.)

3 PM-4 PM: Signing at the CBLDF booth
The CBLDF has our various book, and you can get them, help the good cause and get an exclusive drawing on your book while we're all together.

Sunday, October 7th

3 PM-4 PM: Signing at the CBLDF booth
Not content in signing books and helping the CBLDF one day, we're doing it again on Sunday, so come along and let us be merry together!

NYCC 2018 prints... to you

I've made a new one-page story/poster for NYCC. I'm working on Casanova, and other projects, and none of them is coming out this year (well, the Hellboy Winter Special is, but still), and sometimes you just want to make something that you can put out in the World, to reflect the moment, your moment, your thoughts and feelings. And I chose a Walt Whitman little poem that I liked, that reflected these feeling I have, and I created this little story around it.



There are people I admire who, in their actions, reflect what I'm feeling. There are stories and characters who also inspired many people, myself among them. I'm channeling all of this in this little piece, hoping it reaches... well, you.

I made this to you.

I'll have this poster, along with other prints, at my table on Artists' Alley (L1 and L2).

I'll have my How to Talk to Girls at Parties poster at my table, too. It's more than twice the size of my other prints, and it's gorgeous.

Bá will have a new Umbrella Academy poster at the table as well a Daytripper poster. (I'll have a Daytripper print as well)
