Acme, Futurama, The Simpsons, NCIS: Tony & Ziva, and Paradise. Fans will have the opportunity to get autographs from renowned comic creators including Scott Snyder, Jim Lee, and Todd McFarlane.

On Saturday, July 26, fans can look forward to signings and panels related to popular shows including Bob’s Burgers, The Simpsons, and Futurama.
