In honor of Gears of War 2's release, I'm offering up a copy of Gears of War #1 for this week's giveaway. This comic book is signed by writer Joshua Ortega, who - as luck would have it - lives in my neighborhood and frequents my comic shop. The issue is dated December '08: This is a brand new story that just started, so you can get in on the ground floor.
You can thank GrrlGotGame, whose eagle eye spotted this gem last week when we went to pick up her latest subscriptions.

Hmm, I did not know a comic book was coming out. How did I miss that? Anyhow, I do like trying out new comics, so this one would be nice. Count me in too.
Best, and keep on blogging.
While I've read all the Halo books, I haven't dug into any GOW content outside of the game; this definitely looks interesting
