I'm setting this up as its own board/category, at least for a while, to make sure it gets maximum visibility.
The book ASSEMBLED! Five Decades of Earth's Mightiest will be available for ordering directly from www.whiterocketbooks.com probably within the next couple of days. Maybe within the next 24 hours.
All profits from the sale of this book will go to George Perez's chosen charity.
It will be a few more weeks after that before it is available in stores and comics shops, from Amazon, and the like. But we'll have it for sale from the White Rocket site immediately. (And George's charity will get a larger cut if you order direct.)
So I'm holding off on making the big press releases, going to Diamond, and the like, for right now-- we have to secure the ISBN and so forth. But in the meantime, you can be one of the very few to get the book early and kick things off!
We've been working on this for over 15 months now, soliciting chapters and features from a variety of folks who have been involved in Avengers fandom (pro and fan) for many years.
Bestselling author Keith R A DeCandido wrote the introduction. Marvel Handbook editor Sean McQuaid wrote a lengthy and outstanding section on the Kurt Busiek/George Perez/etc Era. And there is a whole lot more, too.
The trade paperback-sized book has right around 250 pages, with over twenty chapters of analysis, unauthorized opinions, humor, and features. The cover price will be $19.95.
I'm looking forward to discussion and commentary about the commentary here in this topic.
