UPDATE - Seems the overwhelming response to the contest broke my 500 entry limit on the submission form and I had to go fix that today. If you've entered already, don't worry, I didn't lose any of the entries and you are still entered to win. If you received the error message, I apologize in advance.
Also,
Brian Clevinger contacted me last night and let me know there was a delay at the printers for
Atomic Robo Vol 1 TPB and that it won't be out until June 18th. The contest will run as scheduled, but winners will have to wait an extra week plus shipping time for their prizes.
I've been hinting at this over the past few weeks and today is the day I finally get to proudly announce the
Weekly Crisis' first contest. If you haven't guessed by now, what, with the altered site banner and all, the contest has a little something to do with
Red 5 Comics' Atomic Robo, a series that dominated the
Comic Book Moments of the Week every week it was released and I've had nothing but glowing reviews for.
Well, Atomic Robo is being collected in trade format and set for release on
June 11th, as
Atomic Robo TPB Volume 1: Atomic Robo & the Fightin' Scientists of Tesladyne, and I've decided to take all of the money I've earned off the occasional
Amazon links or ads on the site, and a little out of my own pocket, and put it back into the site to reward you, the readers.
As such, I had intended to give away a single copy of
Atomic Robo Vol 1, but I said to myself, "Self, one copy isn't going to cut it for a contest." So, I went out and bought three (!) copies o
f Atomic Robo Vol 1.
Still, something kept nagging at me and I said to myself, "Self, three copies of
Atomic Robo is great and all, but it's still not much of a contest.". Puzzled as to what I could do to make this contest even better, I contacted
Brian Clevinger (
Nuklear Power,
8-Bit Theater), co-creator and writer of Atomic Robo, and asked him what I could do to spruce this up a bit.
Mr. Clevinger was delighted to hear about the contest and has offered to
autograph all three copies of Atomic Robo Vol 1 for the three lucky winners and I said to myself, "Self, now that's what we call a contest!".
As you can see, I'm quite excited about the contest and can't wait to announce the winners come June 11th. If you happen to run a blog or post on some forums, I'd appreciate you letting your readers or fellow forum-goers know about the contest. While this is primarily to reward my readers, the more people that get introduced to a title as great as Atomic Robo, the better.
You can enter by filling out a simple email form with four rather simple multiple choice questions based on
Atomic Robo, answers to which you can find in the linked to reviews after the jump along with the full contest details, rules and the entry form.
Contest Information
Please enter your full name, a valid email address and answer the four (4) trivia questions to be eligiable for the contest. It is important the email address be valid as it is the only way to contact you for your shipping information should you win.
Winners Will Receive
- The contest starts on June 1st at 12:00:00 AM and ends on June 11th at 11:59:59 PM. (All times in AST - Atlantic Standard Time - just add one hour to EST)
- One entry per person (filtered by IP Address).
- Multiple entries from the same IP will be disgarded until only the first entry remains. Continual spamming of entries from the same IP will result in complete removal of previous entries and disqualification from the contest and any future contests.
- Contest open to residents of Canada and the continental United States (no Hawaii or Alaska) only. Sorry to anyone that can't participate, but the logistics, shipping fees and desire to keep things simple for the first contest are the only reasons I'm doing it this way for now. In the future, I hope to include other countries.
- Winners will be contacted and asked for their shipping information. Failure to respond within one week will result in your disqualification and a new winner chosen.
- If you have any problems, whatsoever, please feel free to contact me and I'll try to help you in any way I can.
Good luck to all who enter and remember, only one entry per person!
