Have you ever wondered how it would feel to eat food bought with the money of a superstar? Wonder no more!
Manila's own National Bookstore and Comicx Hub are going to host the first leg in Mark Millar's Jupiter's Legacy kick-off party! There will be 9 parties in total all over the world. The other cities are Glasgow, New York, London, Dublin, Madrid, Chicago, New Hampshire, and Los Angeles. Just knowing that Manila is part of that list is making me all sorts of happy. It shows that Mr. Millar thinks Manila is a good enough market to invest in; and on top of that, we're the only Asian country on the party list.
Mark Millar himself will buy the first round of drinks and pizza for the NBS and Comicx Hub party, which will be on April 23, 2013 (that's tomorrow!), 5PM at the Comicx Hub Comics Store, 3/F Bloomingdale Plaza, Shaw Boulevard, Kapitolyo, Pasig City.
EDIT: He won't be here himself. He's just footing the bill. I saw a few people saying he would come while linking to this post. Sorry about the confusion, folks.
Jupiter's Legacy is Mark Millar's (Kick Ass) latest comic book series, illustrated by none other than the very talented Frank Quietly (Batman & Robin), and published by Image Comics. It is a 10-part bi-monthly saga that will tell the tale of the first ever superhero family.
Jupiter's Legacy will be available for Php 150 at Comicx Hub starting April 23. If you buy from them at the event, you're entitled to the party raffle! Every copy you buy gets you 1 raffle entry. If you pre-order the upcoming issues at the event, you get additional raffle entries. And as a sweetener, every additional raffle entry nets you another Mark Millar book!
Here are the prizes:
- Nemesis Exclusive Cover #1 (valued at Php 1,000)
- Superior #1 signed by Lenil Yu (who will be in attendance at the event, by the way)
- Jupiter's Legacy #1 B&W variant by Frank Quietly (valued at Php 1,500)
There will be 12 boxes of party size pizza, 6 2L sodas for you non-beer drinkers, and 6 cases of San Miguel Beer sponsored by SMB! Thank you, Mr. Millar!
