Wizard returns to publishing with WizPop

With Wizard World Chicago starting today (Friday, August 25th), I just thought I'd mention that the company is back to publishing with WizPop.
Note that George Perez was supposed to appear at this convention, but
due to illness and recommendation from his doctor, Perez had to leave
the convention scene for a while.
Anyway, WizPop
is described as a daily pop-culture news service reporting on the
biggest stories of the day in pop-culture, entertainment, and fandom. WizPop will also
feature a weekly round-table reviewing the relevant news of the week.
If you're a print fan, WizPop will be available as a premium quarterly
magazine. It's good to see Wizard back to publishing, as you know I was a massive Wizard Magazine fan back in the day.

From Kevin M
In the past I know that you've posted some of the homages that I've
commissioned based on George's work. I've gotten a few news ones over
the last few months.
The first is based on an old Wizard cover that George did but with different versions of Iron Man, Thor and Captain America:
I also got this one which comes from an issue of Brave and the Bold George did:
KANG AND THE MASTERS OF EVIL (Art by Mitch Ballard)
(Dec 2010)
and I just got this one, based on George's old JLA covers:

WIZARD BIG COVERS BOOK is currently on sale on Bud Plant
for $16.99, normally this book retails for $24.99, so it was a bargain.
Plus, you can also get free shipping if you use the code: "FF4", offers
expires May 31st, 2004.
I'm glad I picked up this book because
it offers insights on all of WIZARD's first 100 covers, bounded in a
sturdy hardcover book.
Here is the info and original cover sketches for WIZARD #76:
CAPTAIN AMERICA
(December 1997)
Penciler: George Pérez
Inker: Jimmy Palmiotti
Colorist: Liquid Graphics
Hard to believe, but this - the 76th issue of Wizard
- featured our first George Pérez illustrated cover. We tapped the
legendary artist to tackle the iconic Captain America besting his
longtime nemesis the Red Skull. Perez other two sketches testify to hsi
immense talent - both presented dynamic possibilites, and we couldn't
have gone wrong running any of them.
To sum up: Perez is the goods.
WIZARD #81 had a variety of different colors for the background, but the book only showed the green cover:
Note that the published cover is purple.
