I have heard from George Perez today and he agrees that the charity to receive the publisher profits from the ASSEMBLED! book should indeed be the HERO Initiative.
We will make the first donation to them as soon as the quarterly checks are sent out from our printers/distributors, and I'll post when that's done.

I just wanted to let everyone know that ASSEMBLED! has so far sold nearly 600 copies and raised over $1100.00 for the HERO Initiative.
The total would have been much higher but the retailers take a huge bite. (I fear that means the second book will have to have a slightly higher cover price.)
We're keeping nothing money-wise, aside from the most basic costs of publication. It's all going to the charity.
We will be presenting a big check to the HERO Initiative folks as part of a special panel at HeroesCon in Charlotte in June. Both the charity and the convention are on board and are excited about this.
I'm hoping we can sell a few more copies before then, and up the total to $1500! (The charity gets a much bigger cut if folks order via the Lulu.com site or buy the book from us at conventions. That eliminates the retailer cut.)

Van, that's great news. Hopefully your presentation will not only sell even more copies of Vol. I, but really stimulate sales for Vol. II!!
