C2E2 '13: Revival Raises Money For CBLDF with New Liberty Variant

The Comic Book Legal Defense Fund and Image Comics are thrilled to announce that REVIVAL #9 will be the next issue joining the prestigious CBLDF Liberty Variant program! Premiering this week at C2E2, this CBLDF Liberty Variant edition of the latest installment of the rural noir hit boasts a gorgeous cover by Seeley and is strictly limited to 500 copies. Copies of the REVIVAL #9 Liberty Variant will be available for donations of $10 each for CBLDF members and $20 each for non-members.  Tim Seeley will be signing copies of the book to benefit CBLDF this Saturday, April 27 from 12 - 1 PM at CBLDF booth 837.

“Without the CBLDF’s work, I wouldn’t be making comics today,” said series writer and co-creator Tim Seeley. “Their efforts to speak out for creators and to push back when groups look to censor our stories make it possible for guys like me to create the stories that matter to us.  With the my home city of Chicago currently involved in banning the acclaimed graphic novel Persepolis, I’m glad to give back to help the CBLDF in their efforts to protect the freedom to read comics.”

REVIVAL follows the events following a day in a small Wisconsin town when the dead returned to life — not as zombies, but seemingly unchanged and ready to return to their lives. But as time goes on, it soon becomes apparent that their resurrections have changed “Revivers,” and Officer Dana Cypress, assigned to aid the feds in their investigation, will find that the ramifications of Revival Day touch her far more closely than she thought.
