Pre-NYCC/NYAF 2011 with Dark Horse Comics

Hello readers! New York Comic Con/New York Anime Festival is approaching and we all can’t wait for it to come. To give you an insight on what’s going on during the convention, I have interviewed a few professionals and publishers that will be attending the event.

To start things off, I present to you Aub Driver, who is the Dark Horse Public Relations Coordinator. Driver’s responsibilities consist of making sure that “everyone in comics/pop culture media is reading what we're putting out on a weekly basis through advance copies and thusly manage reviews and interviews that stem from those reviewers.” Plus, he handles “some community outreach as well as fielding any questions, the media…might have in regards to upcoming shows or releases.” So, who’s curious about what Dark Horse Comics has in store? Well, there are quite a few things from the company just for those who are attending, including exclusives! So read on and find out more!

Who will be there on behalf of Dark Horse?

A team of Dark Horse Comics staffers will be present in the booth to answer questions and talk about upcoming products for Dark Horse comics winter season.

What can fans expect from this year’s Dark Horse booth? Will it look different compared to previous years?

The Dark Horse booth has undergone a total revamp and is looking better than ever. It will feature designated signing stations, a green screen and plenty of interactivity.

Besides the booth, in general what other activities will the company be doing: giveaways, panels, author appearance, freebies, etc.?

Giveaways will happen almost every minute at NYCC! We have tons of good stuff to show you at the booth and even more takeaways! There will be several themed panels that will surely make for a packed house and signings happening every day. Check back to www.Darkhorse.com or LIKE us on Facebook (www.facebook.com/darkhorsecomics) to follow our announcements.

Are there any big surprises for the fans out there from Dark Horse that one should check out? If yes, can you tell me about it?

There's always surprises at every Comic Con, from author appearances to exclusive giveaways! Let's just say, there's some pretty excellent NYCC Exclusives that will be on display at the Dark Horse booth.

Will you be promoting anything specific or new at the convention? If yes, can you tell me about it?

We've got some very special announcements that we'll be making throughout the course of the convention. Each announcement will follow one of our panels, so make sure you grab a seat at every Dark Horse panel to find out first!

Anything you want to add to this interview? Anything you want to tell the fans?

Dark Horse is always putting out new, interesting and relevant print material and announcing new books every week!
