A YEAR OF GIVEAWAYS: Two Volumes of Marvel’s BLADE!

44 Comments | Posted: April 26th, 2010 | Filed under: Contests

Let’s give it up for Jordan Shiveley, who won last week’s contest!  Jordan picked the Coatimundi, which is, let’s face it, a pretty darn cute mammal.

This week, I’m giving away something slightly stupid and gorgeous!  Marc Guggenheim’s run on Blade with Howard Chaykin is big, over-the-top, and a close-to-perfect example of comics about a half-vampire that kills other vampires with swords and guns and whatever else he’s got handy.   I’ve got the two trades collecting the entirety of the Guggenheim/Chaykin run: Undead Again and Sins of the Father and you can win them by naming your favorite vampire that is not Dracula in the comments to this post!

Just leave said comment before 12:01 AM on Saturday, May 1, 2010 to qualify and the winner will be chosen using Random.org’s random number generator. Previous entrants do, in fact qualify, because I’m such a nice fellow like that. Comments that don’t qualify (such as the person from the Harley Quinn contest a few weeks ago who just babbled about how great the Dodsons are without actually answering the very basic question provided) will be deleted.

Terms And Conditions:? Please note that because of shipping costs, this contest is for residents of the United States of America and Canada. You must leave your email address with your comment to qualify, as I’m not going to spend any time hunting down someone who didn’t want to be contacted about their amazing prize. One comment per person and yes, I will know if you cheat and will probably mock you in public.

    Do those leatherwing creeps from the Beastmaster count?
    If not, I’d go with David from the Lost Boys. But really it’s those Beastmaster weirdos.

  40. 40 Brian Smith said at 2:34 am on April 29th, 2010:

    I’m going to say the vampire from “Eternal Darkness: Sanity’s Requiem,” partly because it’s a great video game boss, partly because no one’s mentioned him yet, but mostly because I really really love me some “Eternal Darkness.”

    I’m still kind of attached to Lestat, despite the pantsing this type of vampire got in Preacher.
