New York Comic Con 2018: Best Guests to Meet For Autographs

There will be no shortage of awesome guests to meet at New York Comic Con 2018, including actors who have starred in everything from DC and the MCU to TV sci-fi and '90s sitcoms. The four-day-long, cross-genre event has an impressive lineup of guests that offers something for any attendee.

From October 4-7, the Javits Center in New York City (as well as Madison Square Garden's Hulu Theater) will host the fully immersive NYCC, offering guests the chance to attend live panels, stroll through the creative Artist Alley, and even meet a wide range of actors, illustrators, storytellers, and more, with autograph and photo opportunities. And, while there is a massive lineup of creatives attending the event, there is a handful of celebrities who especially stand out.

So, whether you're attending NYCC or are simply curious as to which of your favorite celebrities are taking the one-on-one approach with fans, these are the guests that Screen Rant is most excited to see take the floor.

Jason Momoa

Promoting the upcoming DC adaptation of Aquaman from director James Wan (The Conjuring, Furious 7), Jason Momoa will be available at NYCC for eager fans awaiting the character's very first live-action standalone movie ever.

At New York Comic Con, he'll be available for autographs on Saturday from 11am-2pm and 4-5pm, though there won't be an official DC or Aquaman panel.
