In a few hours, the Bad Idea Panel will take place at Wondercon in Seattle and offer attendees the special fourth anniversary of Hero Trade. Collection of the original short story Hero For Sale by Matt Kindt and David Lapham and its sequel Sell Out, now in full color thanks to Bill Crabtree, colorist and current litigator of Invincible.
Which, if there’s anything to overlook beyond functionality, will have other people promoting them for $200 on eBay within minutes of the panel’s conclusion. Participants just wish they had followed this Kickstarter launch.
They will also provide two videos, a wonderful excerpt from Robert Venditti’s videos of the Dinosaur Island expedition, accompanied by never-before-seen footage with Fronk Stapples. And an exclusive video of Matt Kindt’s character creation procedure at WonderCon. Which would have been exclusive WonderCon. si Bleeding Cool hadn’t included the tweet below, with the birth of the next Hero Trade character.

Hero Trade’s fourth anniversary special includes an all-new wraparound canopy showcasing the characters and new additions, an all-new preface commemorating the fourth anniversary, character designs and notes for upcoming stories taken straight from the desk of David Lapham and the editors, and an all-new interpretation through Matt Kindt showing the first appearance of a new character appearing in the next one. Hero, Trade story.
