HellCat Cookout!

Posted at 9:25 a.m. - Thursday, June 25

The good people of Challengers Comics + Conversation sent me word of this super-cool cookout that they're having where you not only get to hang out with one on Marvel Comics' top comic-book writers, but also raise money for a good cause:

"Challengers Comics + Conversation will be holding a cookout from 12:00-3:00pm on June 27, 2009 featuring writer Kathryn Immonen and her new Marvel Comics graphic novel release, Patsy Walker: Hellcat.  Ms. Immonen will be on hand to sign copies of the trade as well as her first issue of Marvel Comics’ Runaways. All food items (hamburgers, soda, etc.) at the cookout will be $1. All proceeds will go to the Anti Cruelty Society of Chicago. Challengers Comics is located at 1845 N. Western Ave. 2R in Bucktown.

“Female heroines kicking butt and doing good is right up our alley,” explained Patrick Brower co-owner of Challengers Comics.  “The Anti Cruelty Society does really amazing things not only to enable people to take better care of their pets but also works to help communities understand and empathize with the animal world.  The more you learn about animals the more you will want to protect them and do right by them. Doing the right thing and protecting the innocent is what Patsy Walker: Hellcat is all about!” Fun on a bun!"

If you missed the Amber Benson signing last week (I'll be posting my interview with her soon!), you missed out on a great time, so don't let this one pass you by and hang with some of the coolest folk in the comic book biz.

Check this one out and be sure to tell 'em you read about it here on the Geek To Me blog!
