As it's in the Philippines, it's out of the reach of HERO and the like. But Tony DeZuniga is in need of your help. His wife writes;

It's really tough since Tony doesn't have insurance here. The medication is very expensive and hospital bill is paid cash 90% Our daily bill is around $1,500 even if we have some money it's drained out already. I have a house here but the process of getting a loan would take time and I can't be gone long away from the hospital.

ARTIST BRYAN HITCH ON THE VARIANT COVER TO EARTH 2 #1 | DC Comics

"If there's one thing my adult pro self wanted out of DC COMICS-THE NEW 52, it was a return to the days of Infinite Earths. And it starts here. Jim designed the coolest costumes and it was a hoot of a sandbox to play in for a few hours. They are still Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman, though, but that was always the fun, wasn't it? The same but different. My eight-year son got a real kick out of me drawing this, just like my eight-year old self would have!"

First look: Jim Lee's poster for 2012 Hero Complex Film Festival | Hero Complex – movies, comics, fanboy fare – latimes.com

The image evokes Southern California on the move but also has the otherworldly aura of a cosmic messenger enroute to New Genesis — is she coming from the Vega system or Venice Beach?
