When artist Mike Wieringo passed away, he was in the middle of his latest Marvel Comics book, a What If? story. Mike had completed seven pages of what became a massive 27-page story. With Mike\u2019s passing, Marvel Comics generously provided access to the script and Mike\u2019s art to The Hero Initiative, and Mike\u2019s<!--more-->\u00a0friends stepped up to finish the story, and pay tribute to Mike. Now, What If\u2026This Was The Fantastic Four?: A Tribute to Mike Wieringo is a massive, 48-page tribute book that contains the full story, and additional written tributes to Mike.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The tremendous list of talent participating in the book includes Jeff Parker, Arthur Adams, Paul Renaud, Stuart Immonen, Cully Hamner, Alan Davis, David Williams, Sanford Greene, Humberto Ramos, Skottie Young, Mike Allred, Barry Kitson, and Val Staples. Cover artwork is by Mike Wieringo and Paul Mounts, and The Hero Initiative is publishing the book with the full support of both Marvel Comics, and the family of Mike Wieringo.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Stop by the Hero booth to obtain your very own copy before it is available everywhere on June 25th. The book retails for $4.99. In addition, the following ten talented men will be signing the book at HeroesCon: Richard Case, Todd Dezago, Cully Hamner, Stuart Immonen, Barry Kitson, Nathan Massengill, Jeff Parker, Val Staples, Mark Waid, Karl Kesel and Matt Wieringo so don\u2019t miss out on this once in a lifetime opportunity!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThanks to Marvel and The Hero Initiative, Mike\u2019s friends got to work with him one more time and I get to experience seeing one of my brother\u2019s comics on the stands again. That\u2019s a thrill I never again hoped or expected to have. And it\u2019s for a great cause that Mike would have been proud to be a part of,\u201d said Matt Wieringo.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Hero Initiative is the first-ever federally chartered not-for-profit corporation dedicated strictly to helping comic book creators in need. Hero creates a financial safety net for yesterdays&rsquo; creators who may need emergency medical aid, financial support for essentials of life, and an avenue back into paying work.
