Marvel to Give Out Exclusive Comics and Original Art at C2E2 This Weekend?
It's not unknown for comic publishers to give out freebies at comic convention panels. Some people can get a sneak peek at comics yet to be published. There are even show-exclusive variants handed out for attendees that can be flipped on eBay and cover the cost of buying tickets to the show.
Well, as Marvel Comics heads to C2E2 in Chicago this week, with Saturday's Marvel Comics – Next Big Thing panel in room Room S401 from 4 to 5pm set to reveal whatever it is that Jonathan Hickman is writing for Marvel (X-Men or Eternals? Place your bets now…) we get the words that attendeed may be getting a lot more than usual.
Yes to exclusive variants, just for those going to those panels at the show.
But also original comic book artwork, bought from Marvel's artists and handed out of a very choosy basis to certain panel attendees.
Which could a) be a valued and cherished item of art to appreciate forever or b) pay for the air flight and hotel fees too.
Let is know how it goes. Here are the panels you might like to be looking out for.
