Avengers Vs. X-Men Launch Party!

Last Tuesday, April 3rd, from 7-9pm, Alternate Reality Comics was one of the many stores that had launch parties for Avengers Vs. X-Men #1 and the celebration was nothing short of fantastic on all fronts! I'd posted photos over on my store facebook page last Tuesday night, but I wanted to do an Ich Liebe Comics! entry with a few photos for those of you who don't do the facebook thang.

I'd like to give huge thanks to everyone who came out, to my friend, Jim, for his help in getting the specifics lined up and for his stellar job at the front counter making the BIG line move as smoothly as it did, to my wife, Kate, for serving up the Avengers and X-Men cakes (as well as making the Vs. cakes), and to everyone who worked on Avengers Vs. X-Men #1, for making a great first issue that will definitely get everyone who gets the first issue back for the following issues! Big thanks also to Heath Randall who brought out Brieanna Brock Randall, who cosplayed as Phoenix (because Phoenix is a very important part of Avengers Vs. X-Men!) and Pj Perez who ran to the store before the event started to get a letter maker for the Vs. cakes (and he writes a mean V and S!)!

And for those of you who weren't able to stop in last Tuesday night or this past week, Alternate Reality Comics still has first printings of Avengers Vs. X-Men #1 (it is going to second print) and the second issue comes out next Wednesday, April 18th (it's bi-weekly for twelve issues through September)!
