A word on challenging Paul Jenkins at pool: do so at your own risk!
What a combination – Paul Jenkins and a pool table! Join The Hero Initiative as we kick off Wizard World Chicago with what is sure to be the con’s most talked-about event!
Come to booth #140 to challenge Paul Jenkins at pool for $30 (100% of which will go to support the men and women Hero serves)! If you beat Paul, you can win fabulous prizes! In addition, once a day, we’ll also have:
• THE BIG DIRTY! Instead of $30, a fan can challenge Paul to a single game for $500, and possibly with a $1000+ prize package!
• THUNDERDOME (Two men enter, Paul Jenkins leaves!) Other pros will challenge Jenkins for some crazy stakes! Joe Quesada, Michael Turner and Mark Millar are all in, and Jenkins will even shoot BEHIND HIS BACK against Quesada to even things up!
In addition, Hero’s booth #140 will have talent including Arthur Suydam, Phil Hester, Tim Seeley and Gordon Purcell! You can also win an opportunity via an Ebay auction to have a grading/restoration detection lunch with Steve Borock from CGC. PLUS the premiere of the Ultimate Spider-Man #100 Project softcover and hardcover books happens here WITH a special 8-man signing featuring some of the amazing artists who did the Ultimate 100 covers!
Last but definitely not least, in honor of Mark Millar’s first U.S. Convention appearance in 3 years, Hero is proud to raffle off some of the HOTTEST and hardest to find Mark Millar books around for the Wizard World Chicago convention.
The raffle takes place at booth #140 so be sure to stop by to win these great signed books:
FRIDAY: Ultimates volume 2 #13 white incentive cover
SATURDAY: Civil War #1 Turner sketch incentive cover
