Freeform’s new original series Marvel’s Cloak & Dagger is the story of Tandy Bowen (Olivia Holt) and Tyrone Johnson (Aubrey Joseph) – two teenagers from very different backgrounds, who find themselves burdened by newly acquired superpowers which are mysteriously linked to one another. Tandy can emit light daggers and finds hope in the light, while Tyrone has the ability to control darkness which gives him the power he needs. They quickly learn they are better together than apart as they join forces to seek justice for the loved ones they lost early on. You won’t want to miss this!

FRIDAY, MARCH 23rd

Marvel’s Cloak & Dagger – Exclusive Signing Room – 1:30-2:30PM
Freeform and Marvel will be hosting a special exclusive autograph signing with cast and executive producers from their highly anticipated new original series Marvel’s Cloak & Dagger.

SATURDAY, MARCH 24th

Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. – Exclusive Signing Room – 3:00-4:00PM
Marvel is excited to announce a special exclusive autograph signing with the cast and producers of Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.!

Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. airs Fridays at 9|8c on ABC. Marvel’s Cloak & Dagger will debut on Freeform on Thursday, June 7th at 8|7c.

Fans of Disney-Marvel's AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D. might want to give some serious thought to attending this year's show, as it could be the last time that ABC's team-based comic book series makes an apperance. I say this because word broke yesterday that the program's final fifth season episode may serve as the series closure for Agent Coulson and his diverse team of heroes.

If you do plan to hit up the show, enjoy yourself, and be sure to check back here when news from the show hits the grand internet stage.
