The Phoenix Comicon is this weekend and Avatar Press will be there in style! Every year the fans at Phoenix show us why that show is one of the biggest and fastest growing comic conventions in the US. This year we’re bringing a special treat to the fans who have supported Avatar projects by having the first signing of both the writer and artist of the hit new series Uber. Kieron Gillen and Caanan White will be signing comics and talking about their work on the book that is revolutionizing super soldier fiction.
And in addition to picking their brains, there will be a whole mess of Uber related exclusives and collectibles. You can see all the Phoenix Comicon Avatar exclusives here: http://www.comcav.com/cart/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=179_343
