Last year, we picked up comics at Free Comic Day to give away, and augmented them with some of our own. This year, we continue this tradition - but with a few awesome bonuses.
First, we have a SIGNED first printing of the acclaimed and currently out-of-print Nonplayer #1 with a signed poster to go with it. These just came out and were an instant hit with gamers and comic fans alike, and we were lucky enough to meet the author, Nate Simpson, at our local comic shop.
We also have a fine selection of Mass Effect Evolution and We Will Bury You comics. Well, just look at the list (see more pictures in our gallery):
Nonplayer #1 and poster (both signed!) - The Darkness II: Confession (one-shot)
- Dead Space Extraction (one-shot)
- Mass Effect Evolution #2, 3 and 4
- Magic The Gathering: Path of the Planeswalker II (preview)
- We Will Bury You #1, 2, 3 and 4
- The Amazing Spider-Man
- Green Lantern Special Edition
- The Mighty Thor Saga
- Captain America and Thor
- The Adventures of Sly Cooper #2
- Sonic Universe: The Silver Saga #27
- Artifacts #0
- Radical sampler featuring Driver for the Dead, The Rising, After Dark and Time Bomb
- Bongo Comics Free-For-All 2011
The Mis-Adventures of Adam West backed with Walter Koenig's Things to Come
Worth playing for? You bet! As usual, we ask that you share the wealth - if there are comics you don't want or need, please note it in your comments so they can be awarded to a runner up if you're drawn first.
Here's how to enter and boost your odds with up to 4 chances to win:
- Enter a comment here, as usual. BE SURE TO SAY WHICH COMICS YOU ARE PLAYING FOR (e.g., "All except..."). That's all you really NEED to do.
- Tweet the following on Twitter: Win 21 comics incl. signed Nonplayer at BusyGamerNews.com, home of the Busy Gamer Podcast: RT + Enter here: http://bit.ly/kPeSrX #bgnfsf
- Review (or re-review) our Busy Gamer Podcast on iTunes.
- Review (or re-review) the Best of Busy Gamer Podcast on iTunes. This is a short audio highlights feed with our reviews, audio tours and other timeless bits!
If you do 2, 3 and/or 4 (and why wouldn't you?), you do need to let us know your Twitter/iTunes name(s) in your comment so we can find, verify and include your bonus entries in the drawing and match them up to contact you if one of them wins.
If we can't confirm the bonus entry and easily tell who you are on Twitter and/or iTunes, the bonus entry is disqualified.
You DO have to enter a comment here and follow the other rules to be eligible:
Simply post a comment on this page, and say which comic(s) you'd want - or don't need! - if your number comes up. (You can do the other things listed above if you want to earn some extra chances to win.) Say whatever is on your mind as long as it's not an ad or profane. Be sure to read the Sweepstakes Rules to ensure you are eligible to win and don't get disqualified by double-posting or forgetting to provide an e-mail address.
NOTE: If you play for extra chances on Twitter or by posting podcast reviews on iTunes, you still have to enter here AND let us know your Twitter and/or iTunes names so we can match you up. iTunes ratings alone do not count since we can't see who posted them, so add or update a comment! If you already posted an iTunes review, you can still update your review once a week for a bonus entry in each week's giveaway. Just log in to iTunes and click Write a Review; it should load your existing review and let you modify it. Make a change (even a small one) and then check to ensure that it appears on top with the new date or it won't count!
You may also want to white list this domain; we've had MANY would-be winners lose out because they never responded to their prize notification! If you use TypeKey/TypePad, be sure your e-mail address will be shared. No e-mail address, no prize. (Don't worry, no one else will see it - and we'll only use it to contact you if you win.)
Note that unless you're an authenticated poster who has been active on the site and marked as trusted, your comment will NOT appear immediately. It will go into a queue for me to approve, which I'll do several times a day (except the first weekend, where comments may not be approved until sometime late on Sunday). Do NOT double-post. We'll extend the entry period for this until 8:01 p.m. Pacific Time on Wednesday, May 18 to ensure you have plenty of time to enter and verify your entry was posted.
We also sometimes give away unannounced Instant Win prizes and podcast extras. Here are a few tips since this can happen at any time. 1) Follow Gamewatcher on Twitter. Before we post the next Instant Win, we'll give you a fair warning tweet. 2) Subscribe to our RSS feed and set it to check for updates frequently.
We continue to stock up on cool goodies for Free Stuff Friday - and we will keep doing so as long as there's enough response, even if we continue to lose money on this site. So tell your friends about this! Hey, if we get bigger, so will the prizes that YOU could win! While you're at it, post comments wherever you see something interesting. Also, if you get a game code you don't need or have some other cool game-related prize you want to donate, we'd be very grateful (we pay for much of this stuff ourselves!).
Count me in! If I happen to win I'm willing to give out all of the comics except for the three Mass Effect Evolution ones. That's right, I'm even willing to give away the signed one. I'm just that nice of a person.
