Following the Pulse Nightclub Shooting in Orlando, a project in the
comic community named Love is Love began to take shape. A group of more

anthology, the proceeds from which were donated to the victims, the
survivors and their families via Equality FL.
The events at MegaCon Orlando will be continuing in this spirit,
honoring the 49 lives lost by donating all proceeds to Equality Florida,
Florida’s largest civil rights organization. Over 25 contributing
creators will be at the show and more than sixty original comic
creations from the book as well as artwork donated by creators who did
not contribute to the final book will be on the auction block in this
fundraising event.

Wonder Woman Artist: George Perez (art) Laura Martin (Colorist)
Comic book writer Marc Andreyko was hit hard by the
Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando, Fla., so he decided to do something
about it, reaching out to mastermind what became the new 144-page
all-star comic book anthology "Love Is Love."
(excerpt)
Andreyko wrote an homage to the 1950s romance comic "Falling In
Love," with a happy couple walking through a park and seeing straight,
gay and transgender couples of all ages, illustrated by legendary comics
artist George Perez.
Andreyko said he was inspired and overwhelmed by how everyone came
together on the book, with companies even granting permission to use
characters from Superman to Archie.
"If it's the last thing I'm known for, or the only thing I'm known
for in my obituary, I'm good with that," Andreyko said. "The fact that
this book might make a teenager in Oklahoma's life a little bit easier
and give them hope — I mean, what's not to like about that?"
Currently all of the Love is Love books sold in comic book
stores are second printing (if you can find a copy). The first
printing will eventually arrive in stores.
The copies of Love Is Love from DC/IDW that appeared in comic book
stores this week all have Second Printing on them. Some people think
it’s an error. It’s not. They really are the second print of the
anthology, raising money and awareness for the victims and families of
the Orlando nightclub shootings earlier this year.
That’s because there was a post-production delay on the first printing
of the book. The UPC barcode was misprinted, and needed a sticker adding
to every copy. To the extent that the publishers issued a second
printing.
But this the second printing turned up early, and got to market before
the first print, and filled the orders before the New Year.
(excerpt)
But the first print? Still on its way, I understand. As will a third
print. Just, you know, not in the order one might expect. Retailers have
been told they could return the second printing if they wanted. But
seriously, why the hell would they given the demand for any printing
right now?

The Love Is Love graphic novel, co-published by IDW Publishing and DC Entertainment in support of the Pulse Nightclub shooting victims (see “‘Love Is Love’ GN Honors Pulse Victims”), got a pre-release push last week via an appearance by project organizer Mark Andreyko and actor/comedian Taran Killam on Late Night with Seth Meyers.
The two were interviewed about the project, and Meyers displayed pages
involving both creators, including a piece of George Perez art for which
Andreyko did the writing.
(excerpt)
The volume had a good initial press push in September, including major media such as the New York Times and Los Angeles Times, but this was another good reminder to fans to visit their comic shops this Wednesday, when the book is released.
Love is Love's creators, Taran Killam and Marc Andreyko, was on Late Night with Seth Meyers
last night (December 19th) to talk about their graphic novel for the
Pulse Victims. One of the first pages Meyers displayed was none other
than George Perez's piece.
Excerpt:
Meyers: This is one you did with George Perez, correct?
Andreyko: Yeah I got to write for George Perez. For the non-comic
people, he's like the Orson Welles of comic books. Being able to work
with him is crazy.

LOVE IS LOVE (28 Dec 2016) IDW Publishing
Love is Love
is arriving in comic stores on 28 December 2016. All proceeds from the
comic book will be going to the victims, survivors, and their
families, of the horrific mass shooting at the Pulse nightclub in
Orlando, Florida. George Perez, Phil Jimenez, Olivier Coipel, etc., are
among some of the talented artists contributing to this comic book.
The
comic book author and screenwriter Marc Andreyko felt unfathomable
horror when he heard the news of the June 12 mass shooting at the Pulse
nightclub in Orlando, Fla. Feeling compelled to help, he posted on Facebook a suggestion to create a comic book that would benefit the victims.
The
result is “Love Is Love,” a 144-page anthology filled with original
work by contributors both familiar and unexpected. The book, which will
be available Dec. 28, includes pages from the documentarian Morgan
Spurlock, the actor Matt Bomer, the comedians Patton Oswalt and Taran
Killam, and other entertainers.
Thanks to Ilke.
