GEORGE PEREZ TO HELP LAUNCH “ASSEMBLED! 2″ AT DRAGON*CON
Famed Avengers artist George Perez will join Editor Van Allen Plexico and contributors Joe Crowe, Keith R. A. DeCandido, and George Kopec in rolling out the new book, ASSEMBLED! 2, at the Comics and Popular Arts
Conference held as part of Dragon*Con in Atlanta, Georgia on Sept. 4, 2009.
Profits from the book go to the HERO Initiative charity for retired comics professionals!
The “Avengers Symposium on ASSEMBLED! 1 and 2” will be held at 1 p.m. in the “Hanover H” room of the Hyatt Regency hotel. The official book release and a book signing session will follow in Dragon*Con Comics
Artists’ Alley.
“ASSEMBLED! 2 – Earth’s Mightiest Heroes and Villains” is the sequel to the very successful ASSEMBLED! and an intensive examination of all things Avengers. This book focuses on the “Big Three”– Thor, Iron Man, and Captain America– plus the “Big Two” villains, Ultron and Kang! What makes each of them tick? How have their relationships
toward one another evolved over the years, through events such as the Kree-Skrull War or Civil War? What might become of the Big Three in the future?
Additional chapters look at the recent IRON MAN movie plus YOUNG AVENGERS, AVENGERS FOREVER and more. And to top it all off, Marvel Executive Editor Tom Brevoort supplies a fascinating and quite surprising introduction.
The Jarvis Heads combine insightful analysis with humor and sometimes surprising opinions for a total package that will both inform and entertain.
