Ultimate Spidey #100 Project

The Ultimate Spider-Man #100 Project hits stores in September. Wizard World Chicago attendees will be the first to see it on the weekend of August 9th-12th at the Rosemount Convention Center in Rosemount, IL, where it will premiere. Artists Joe Quesada and Matt Wagner will be in attendance, amongst others.

Over 80 artists were asked to contribute original sketches for the cover of Spiderman 100 and the response was overwhelming - some artists did two! Fans have been clamoring for a collection of the pieces since, and now they are getting their wish in the form of a 112-page collective for the very affordable price of only $10! Featured artists include Mark Bagley, Quesada, Frank Cho, the Kubert Brothers, George Perez, the Romitas, and many more.

Proceeds go to help the Hero Initiative, which provides financial support for comic artists who may need emergency medical help, an entrance back into the field, and/or those who are down on their luck. You can always donate directly through their site, but here's a great chance to get a piece of comics history in exchange for your generous charity!
