Congratulations to the winner of the first week of comic book giveaways here at Fandomania, Brendoman! I did the drawing earlier today, and he’ll be receiving a package with twenty comics shortly. Now on to week 2! I still have a sizeable stack of these comics to get rid of, so here’s the deal:
Reply to this post and tell me the most geektastic thing you’ve done this summer, and you’ll be entered in a drawing to win a random stack of 20 of these comics. Be sure to use your real e-mail address when you reply, or I won’t be able to contact you if you win.
Keep in mind that these are not minty-mint collector grade comics. They’re the actual copies we read here when we write up reviews, so they ain’t perfect. They’re great for reading, though, so why not give it a shot and get these things off my hands?
The contest will run until next Wednesday, August 13, at 12:00am Eastern time. At that time I’ll draw a winner, and then I’ll start up another one of these later in the day. You can expect comic giveaways like this each week until I get rid of this mountain of issues.
