Some of these are a few days old, but I thought I'd mention them anyway. Also, I think this is kind of nice, but I think we beat most of the other news site by mentioning MegaCon 2002 on October 11th. I've noticed two other site just now talking about MegaCon.

Marvel's Bill Rosemann said that the first printing of Heroes, Marvel's poster book benefiting the Twin Towers Fund, has sold out.

"Thanks to everyone's efforts, Diamond is now entirely sold out of the first printing of Heroes - of which more than 20,000 were ordered between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. today," Rosemann said.

"A few hours ago I received a call from a woman living in Florida who saw Joe Quesada and Adam Kubert on the Today Show this morning, and wanted to buy copies for her nieces and nephews," Rosemann said. "Believe it or not, not only did the person working at her local comics shop not have copies of Heroes, but had never even heard of the project! The good news is that they are now being buried in phone calls asking about Heroes."

It's no secret that Marvel loves generating headlines - to get readers excited not only about our comics but also about the entire comics industry - but this time it's special. This time we're selling books for the best reason of all: to help others. As you know, the proceeds from the sale of the 64-page poster magazine will go to the Twin Towers Fund, which will in turn give the money to the people who are truly in need.
