Marvel: Your Universe giveaway

Yours free for having attended our panel

A quick addendum to yesterday's Philly post that I completely forgot to mention. Everybody who attended our MARVEL: YOUR UNIVERSE panel at Wizard World Philadelphia received one of these rare variant editions of X-MEN LEGACY #211 with the beautiful David Finch cover. I'm told that this was the only place we were giving these out, and that the print run for this particular variant was one of the smallest we've ever placed--so if you were one of the lucky few who stopped by to chat with us, hopefully you wound up with a special item well worth the time.

Now, this is no guarantee that we'll be handing out similar goodies when wr bring this panel and the rest of our convention programming on the road for the rest of the year--but anything's possible. So a word to the wise.

I also forgot to mention yesterday that, right before the M:YU panel, I got word that Peter David was looking for me. Peter and I had both been on a very strange "Legends of Comics" panel together on Saturday, along with Chris Claremont and Greg Hildebrant. I envisioned that there was some problem he wanted to talk over with me--but when I finally came across him, he wanted to offer me a seat at that evening's New York Mets game, to which he had great box seats. As it turned out, with having to do the panel and get some other people home to Manhattan that night (and having been away from my family for the weekend) I felt I had to turn down Peter's offer--but it was a very nice gesture nevertheless.

Tomorrow: something more substantial about comics (with any luck.)

Hey Tom,
Any chance of Marvel ever making it over to the European side of the Atlantic, for some of your overseas fans?

THOR
I would like to propose "Fabio" as the new Thor. He has just the right attitude, and the perfect hair. What do you think of it Tom?
