MY NOTES: First of all do you know what a Hero Initiative is? Well here's an explanation courtesy of Newsarama:
"The Hero Initiative is the first-ever federally chartered not-for-profit corporation dedicated strict to helping comic book creators in need. Hero creates a financial safety net for yesterday’s creators who may need emergency medical aid, financial support for essentials of life, and an avenue back into paying work. It’s a chance for all of us to give back something to the people who have given us so much enjoyment.
Since its inception, The Hero Initiative has had the good fortune to grant over $400,000 to the comic book veterans who have paved the way for those in the industry today. For more information, visit www.heroinitiative.org or call 626-676-6354."
For us this means 100 artist take on the blank covers:
and make all these awesome covers put them in a book and sell them for the purposes above... There have been a bunch of these like: Ultimate Spider-Man and Hulk.
Are you getting one?
