ROSEMONT, Ill., June 27, 2016 – As if appearances by superstars from
Star Wars, Back to the Future, “The
X-Files,” “The Walking Dead” and many more film and TV favorites
weren’t enough, there’s another reason for fans to grab VIP admissions
to Wizard World Comic Con Chicago, as the first 800 “Wizard World VIP”
attendees will receive copies of the “Batman #50” and “Superman #50”
exclusive black & white variant covers, both drawn by
Patrick Gleason. The Midwest’s largest pop culture convention is set for August 18-21 at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center.
Note that this applies to “Wizard World VIP” purchasers only; celebrity VIP packages are not included in this offer.
Batman
has returned to Gotham City! In this extra-sized conclusion to Snyder
and Capullo’s epic story “Superheavy,” Bruce Wayne returns to the cape
and cowl to battle Mr. Bloom alongside Jim Gordon for the fate of the
city they both love. “Batman #50” is written by Scott Snyder, with art
by Greg Capullo and Danny Miki. Gleason’s cover is an homage to Jim
Lee’s Batman #608 2nd Print.
Superman
returns in all his glory in this very special issue that sees the Man
of Steel back to full power as he faces his greatest enemy and also
comes face to face with the pre-Flashpoint Kal-El! At last, it’s the
meeting of the Supermen you’ve been waiting for! “Superman #50” is
written by Gene Luen Yang, art by Howard Porter. Gleason’s cover is an
homage to Jim Lee’s Superman #204.
