John Ko, Marketing Director of Wizard Entertainment, saw John Riley's idea to launch an industry-wide philanthropic project (see 'Sharpening the Sword -- A Gathering of Heroes') and offers Wizard's support:

I just wanted to respond to John Riley's November 17, 2006 article, 'Sharpening the Sword--A Gathering of Heroes.'

After getting a chance to read through the article, we were inspired by John Riley's vision of uniting the industry under one banner to give back to the community and help those less fortunate than ourselves.  With that said, Wizard Entertainment would like to offer our support and resources to this amazing vision of John's when it does takes flight. 

Please keep us informed on the progression of this cause, and let us know if there is anything we can do to help keep the momentum going.
