Whatsup everyone,

I just wanted to pass along some very cool and heart-warming news in case you haven't heard.  In support of the victims of the recent Aurora shooting some of the comic book industries best & brightest have banded together for the benefit event, AURORA RISE.

The AURORA RISE: BENEFIT EVENT is organized by Jason Farnsworth, the manager at ALL C'S COLLECTIBLES in Aurora, Colorado.  All C's is Aurora's one and only comic book shop and has directly felt the affects from the shooting, just 2 weeks ago.  Some of the victim's friends and loved ones, and even some of the victims themselves, were patrons of the shop.

"The mission of Aurora Rise is simple - we are going to do everything in our power to assist and aid the victims and victim’s families."

In doing so the comic book community has stepped up to help.  An in-store signing at All C's, silent auction and meet & great has been set up for August 25th & 26th with some of comic's most popular creators.  So far Mike Mignola, Matt Fraction & Steve Niles have all signed on for Aurora Rise, along with Dark Horse Comics, Image Comics, DC Comics, McFarlane Productions and more - with many other creators & companies donating comics, merchandise, collectables and artwork for the silent auction, including myself.

If you'd like to donate to this incredible cause you can contact All C's Collectables at their email allcs@comcast.net or visit their facebook page right HERE.  All proceeds from the event will go directly to the victims, their families and/or designated charity or foundation.

Thanks and have a great weekend everybody,

- D
