The Hero Initiative and Comics Experience proudly present Comic Book Boot Camp, an all day event held Thursday, April 17th - the day before New York Comic Con - that sends you through a crash course on how comics are made! Along the way, you'll get a wealth of insight and information about comics and the creative process as well as meet comics luminaries such as Top Cow President Matt Hawkins, famed Batman editor and writer Denny O'Neil, top writer Chris Gage, artist's artist Phil Jimenez and comics legend Chris Claremont!
And if that's not good enough, it's all for a great cause! The Hero Initiative serves to help comic creators in need, and this special, one-time only event is a fundraiser for Hero!
