Hero Initiative, the charity dedicated to helping comic book creators in medical or financial need, has added a new series of live experiences featuring comic book creators providing question-and-answer sessions, tutorials, and original art in Zoom online webconference rooms.
The new “Hero Initiative Live” events are currently available for purchase at Hero Initiative’s website.
Creators participating in Week 2 events (April 23 – May 1) include Dave Gibbons, Scott Snyder, Mark Waid, Brian Azzarello, Cliff Chiang, Greg Rucka, John McCrea, Mike McKone, Ron Marz, and Steve Borock.
“The limited experiences serve the dual purpose of generating much-needed revenue for Hero, while providing fans with face-to-face meetings with their favorite creators at a time when the usual convention circuit is on lockdown due to global pandemic,” says the organization.
Only a small number of virtual ‘seats’ are available for each event. For example, Scott Snyder’s 40-minute session on April 27 will be limited to five fans, where they can ask about “process, his experiences in comics, what’s it like to write Batman, or comic books in general.”
Creators and industry professionals who participated in week one of the Hero Initiative Live events included Brian Bendis, Donny Cates, Howard Chaykin, Dan DiDio, Scott Dunbier, Megan Hutchison, Fabian Nicieza, Todd Nauck, Chris Ryall, Tim Seeley, and Chip Zdarsky.
