Hero Initiative travels with one of America’s most influential and popular comic book artists, George Pérez, to the Chicago Comic-Con August 6th-9th at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, IL. Known for his amazing work on The Avengers, New Teen Titans and more, George will be the anchor at the Hero Initiative booth, #1340-#1342.
George will also be the congenial host at the best (or possibily first!) speed dating event in comics history! Who'da thunk it? There's now (J.J.) Sachs and (Ernie "Violens") Schulz perfume oil for ladies and men, based on the great Sachs and Violens comic by Peter David and George Pérez! To kick off this sweet-smellin' product, we're having a speed dating event limited to only 40 lucky fans! Really! You could meet the geek of your dreams!
The event is strictly limited to 20 men and 20 women only! Admission is $35.00 and gets you:
• Access to the speed dating party
• Corresponding ladies or men’s Sachs and Violens perfume oil or cologne oil (a $25 value all by itself!)
• A velveteen bag for the scent with foil-stamped logo
• This great, exclusive postcard featuring NEW George Pérez art
• One drink ticket to lubricate the gears of conversation (ID required for alcohol; non-alcoholic drinks also available; further drinks cash bar)
Think about it: You'll get to meet 20 like-minded, comic-lovin' members of the opposite sex in a relaxed, cool environment—and smell great, too! This could be the night that changes your life! Get your tickets NOW at http://qurls.com?i=47988 and http://qurls.com?i=47989.
Hero Initiative’s exclusive Hero Comics is now available and not in stores until August 12th! You can purchase the gem at the Hero Initiative Booth ( #1340-#1342) and have it signed by both cover artists Matt Wagner and J. Scott Campbell starting at 5pm, Friday, August 7th!
