Hero Initiative: Bringing back the HEAT to Southern California At first Long Beach Comic Con
Los Angeles, CA. September 29, 2009: Southern Cal may be cooling off,
but Hero Initiative is on fire and bringing back the heat at the first Long
Beach’s Comic Con, October 2-4 at the Long Beach Convention Center.
First up: It's been a labor of love and shipping, but we have at long last
assembled our 100 original Wolverine: Weapon X #1 covers and invite you
to…The Danger Room! This first and ONLY viewing of 100+ original covers happens
Friday, Oct. 2 at 5 PM at the con, room 204. Admission is a mere $5, $3 if you
come in an X-Men costume or FREE if you show up dressed as Wolverine himself.
Admission gets you one free raffle ticket to win a KICKASS (but empty!) wine
bottle crafted by the amazing Karlton Hahn of
Xena Etched Graphics. You can
increase your chances by buying more raffle tickets on site. Our friends from
The Comic Bug will be on hand as well to
spoil you with coupons and stuff. This will be your ONLY chance to see all 100+
covers in living color and all their glory. ’Til the book comes out in November,
that is. And when will the covers be up for auction? Check eBay.com in late
October!
Next up, Hero Initiative is proud to feature an
exclusive Wolverine print by amazing artist J. Scott Campbell and the talented
colorist Christina Strain. There are only 100 made, and they’ll be available for
$20 each only at the Hero Initiative booth, #349, while supplies last. You can
even get your print signed by BOTH Campbell and Strain, as they’ll be appearing
at the Hero booth on Saturday between 11am-12pm.
In addition,
Stan Lee has graciously agreed to do a limited meet-and-greet session with a few
select fans. There are only TEN availabilities to this session available via
Hero Initiative. Five more guest of the Long Beach Comic Con will also be in
attendance. You can get a picture with Stan, and you’ll also be able to get TWO
Stan Lee autographs at this event on YOUR items of YOUR choice! Go to:
Lastly, while you are at the Hero Booth you can renew your
Hero Initiative membership! 2009 marked the first year ever for Hero Initiative
