You guys are sure having some fun with those die-cut covers, aren’t you? Last Wednesday, we offered you a chance to win a couple of LEGO Batman prize packages by tweeting us your DC comics photos, and many of you put those Joker faces to good use. However, our winning photos took a different approach, as you can see below:
My cat reads faster than my boyfriend.
The above photo and caption were both submitted by @rcknjess on Twitter. (Hopefully, her boyfriend has finished reading BATMAN, INCORPORATED #0 by now!)
Jason Todd, keeping up on “current events.”
Our second winning photo and caption were submitted by @drewtos, who apparently took a break from the Outlaws to read BATMAN #13. Both winners will be receiving a great LEGO Batman prize package that includes a copy of both LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes and the LEGO Batman Visual Dictionary, which aside from being a fun reference for LEGO Batman fans, also features an exclusive minifigure.
We’re big fans of LEGO Batman around here, but if you prefer your comics and your heroes to be a little edgier, then you’ll be happy to know that for this week’s giveaway, we’re moving to the opposite end of the age spectrum.
Today marks the release of BEFORE WATCHMEN: MINUTEMEN #4, which continues the dramatic story of the Minutemen—the forebears Rorschach, Ozymandias, Dr. Manhattan and the rest of the team at the center of the classic graphic novel and its film adaptation. It’s a dark, relentless story of Golden Age heroics, drawn and written by Darwyn Cooke. So to celebrate this great Before Watchmen comic, we’re giving you all a chance to win a Minutemen card signed by Darwyn.
As usual, the card is 11” by 14” and is made of heavy card stock. Many of you fans will recognize it as the cover of BEFORE WATCHMEN: MINUTEMEN #1, which was actually the very first Before Watchmen comic released! If you’re a fan of either the Watchmen or of Darwyn’s work, you’re going to want this up on your wall. But, as usual, you’ll need to do a few things if you’d like to get your hands on it.
1) If you're not already doing so, be sure to follow @DCComics on Twitter and Instagram.
2) Pick up some of your favorite new DC comics on Wednesday and take a photograph of you reading them. (If you can’t make it to a comic shop on Wednesday, a photo of you reading any DC comic will do.)
3) Share your picture with us via Instagram and tag @DCComics and #DCComicscontest.
That’s all there is to it! At 5 pm PST on Monday, October 22, 2012, one winner will be chosen at random and direct messaged for his/her mailing address. The winner will be featured on Twitter and if possible, here on DCComics.com. DC Comics will tweet the winner’s photo and a fan shout out on or around Tuesday, October 23, 2012.
