Heroes for Jordan, Pencils by John Romita Jr.Inks by Charles Holbert Jr.Colors by Matt Kaufenberg

:bulletblue: :bulletblue: Free Comic Book Day & John Romita Jr. in Las Vegas!!! :bulletblue: :bulletblue:

Free Comic Book Day keeps on growing in Las Vegas and this one this year is a special one.

This year Comic Oasis has joined with the Romita Foundation and the Candle Lighters of Nevada for the Heroes For Jordan Sketch-a-thon. John Romita Jr. will be at the Hard Rock Cafe on Las Vegas Blvd attempting to break his world record for consecutive sketching. If you ever wanted to get a sketch from JRJR that will be your weekend. A blank cover for Kick-Ass 2 #7 was also made for the event!

A call out to all local and maybe even visiting artist, if you have some time and feel like sketching I can point you in the right direction to contact Comic Oasis to set up some times to help keep John company.

I hadn't planned on it but I'm hoping the event goes well.

Ah, well. :) I'm sure it'll still be cool, even if it won't be as cool as it would if you'd been there.

The comic artist's and comic fans of Las Vegas are sure to be busy on Free Comic Book Day but hopefully a few of them will make it out to this event to say hello to John.
I did make one small contribution. I inked the banner you see here and my ol' buddy Matt :iconskutterfly: did the colors.

Romita will be at the Hard Rock Cafe on Las Vegas Blvd. (The Strip) next to the MGM in the Showcase Mall.
You really can't miss that place, it kind of sticks out even though it's next to a giant green building with a huge golden lion in front of it... I'll shoot you a little more info.

Oh I'm pissed! I lived in Vegas for 12 years and just moved away 8 months ago. Now JRJr is gonna be there? Dammit!

What?!
He's been here a bunch of times. I've worked alongside him when the Incredible Hulk movie came out and again during the Wolverin Weekend event at Comic Oasis [link] along with his Dad, Romita Sr. and Joe Rubinstein and met him there once or twice before that.

But yeah, this one is going to be interesting for the artists in this town cause he's attempting to beat a already impressive record that he holds and would like the company of a few local comic art lovers to help him out through the day.

I'm not angry at you or him just the fact that I'm clear across the country while it's happening. I may send my dad. He still lives there.I always used to shop at either Altenate Reality (used to be across UNLV now down on Flamingo and Maryland) or Maximum Comics (up on Trop and Fort Apache). I always liked Maxium cause I know the owner Jay. Now I miss home.... Have fun man. Wish I would have been able to meet you while I was still there.
