Following the success of last week's fun Julie Delpy panel giveaway, we're following up today with an opportunity for a few lucky (i.e. smart and quick) readers to grab a pair of tickets to the upcoming Heroes For Hire discussion in Tribeca. From the catalog:

Here I come to save the… oh, just forget it. For a genre of entertainment originally devised with children in mind, superhero movies have found real success among bigger babies -- adults, to be specific. We unleash the power of some superhero creators to explore why the vulnerable, conflicted, reluctant and more... well... human superhero is a sure-fire way to a colossal opening weekend. Featuring a sneak peek at original illustrations from the highly anticipated Amazing Spider-Man: One More Day comic book storyline.

Zak Penn (X-Men: The Last Stand, Elektra), Andrew D. Cooke (Director: Will Eisner: Portrait of a Sequential Artist) and Joe Quesada (Illustrator, Writer, EIC of Marvel), Thomas Haden Church (Spiderman 3), Kevin Smith (Clerks, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back). Lev Grossman (Time Magazine) moderates.

The event goes down at 4 p.m. this Thursday, May 3, at the Tribeca Performing Arts Center. I have a pair of tickets for the first two readers who can correctly answer a fairly ridiculous trivia question:

Comic book icon Will Eisner was born and raised in New York City. In what high school's newspaper was his work first published?

The first two correct respondents to reelercontests [at] gmail.com each get a pair of tickets. Please provide a contact phone number where you can be reached; we'll need to get in touch with you later today or tomorrow to arrange delivery. Good luck!
