Van, what is the charity being supported. Could you provide a little background on the institution please?

That's George's call. I spoke with him briefly about it a while back, but didn't get a definitive answer. He used to give to a burned children's fund, and last year he was raising money for ACTOR (which has changed its name now, and which provides monetary assistance to older/retired comics professionals.)
My main goal has been to get the book finished and make it available. As soon as I find out from him which charity it'll be supporting, I'll post it here. I've never had any doubt it would be a worthy cause, so I haven't worried about it all that much.

I've never heard of this Lulu site. Is it reliable to buy from ? I'd like to get the book if the shipping to UK is not too much, since I don't know if it will eventually become available to Amazon UK or not.

Lulu are our printers. They are very reliable and very good. I have never had any problems with shipments from them.
The book will be available from Amazon and other bookstores, and will be solicited through Diamond, etc-- but that won't be for weeks if not months. We still have a lot of procedural stuff to deal with on that.
I made the announcement here at the earliest possible moment, so that true Avengers fans could get it before anyone else even learns that it exists!

I ordered my copy tonight. With some luck I should see it by the second week in August.
EDIT: It shipped today. I'm looking forward to it.

The local comics shop here bought half a dozen copies from me today, and half of them were snapped up before I got out the door. Sales are looking very good, so far-- and we're still waiting on the distribution via the normal book route to kick in (it'll be a few days/weeks).
I'll pass on the word when it hits Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and the like.
