…and has a perfume from BPAL? Interesting. George Perez and famed colorist Tom Smith turned out that intriguing piece of advertising for it.

I digress. So as an Atlanta native, I cannot tell you of a bigger party than Dragon*Con, or D*C as we call it. Now, I may be a bit bias, but it rivals the size and fun of SDCC easily. It’s not just a con, it’s on a whole other level that seems to grow more and more each year. Well, I’m pleased to announce that the Hero Initiative will be attending Dragon*Con, Labor Day weekend September 4th-7th at the Atlanta Convention center. The Hero Initiative will be in attendance with many special guests including George Pérez, Cully Hamner, and Paul Jenkins. For more information about the con, check out the website.

I had a chance to ask Atlanta’s own Cully Hamner what the thought about being apart of something as grand and special as the Hero Initiative:

“It can be said that debt is on the collective mind of the country right now, and that it’s not the most welcome of things.  But the one debt that I’m happy to even try to settle up is the enormous one that my generation owes to the builders of our business.  Repaying that is something that we’ll never fully be able to achieve, but it’s all in the trying, and I am delighted to give it a go.”

’nuff said.
