Something silly happened when I was at New York ComicCon. I went to Jimmy Palmiotti and realised that I didn’t have my copy of Random Acts of Violence on me. He was all sorts of awesome, and gave me a copy he had on him.
Now, what does this mean? It means I have two copies. So, the first Girls Who Read Comics contest is this:
Comment to this post as to why I should send you my extra copy, as well as a whole bunch of Aussie goodies.
I’ll pick a winner (and I may ask for help in this) so get creative. Believe me, I love sending packages, and will likely end up erring on the side of overboard. TimTams anyone?
You have until this Thursday, 8 pm EST to enter.

I’d never heard of this comic until this post, and now I want to read it! You say a typo is the culprit? I’m the guy that talks to restaurant managers about errant apostrophes on their menus!
An excellent try, but there can be only one…
I admit to being a soft touch for horror movies. Too many of them just felt like I was waiting while the director made the sound tech develop “ambiance”. Thankfully, a good story doesn’t require the same patience. If I want to know what’s going to happen, then I can keep reading. This book sounds like one that I’d rush through and then go back through noticing the little tidbits that are easily overlooked while engrossed in the plot. Thus… I want it.
But does a desire to obtain the prize provide a reason I should win? Not at all, because anyone writing shares that desire. What do I bring to the table that no one else has? How do I rate above and beyond the rest?
Nothing, and I don’t.
Why pick me?
After I have absorbed the plot and art into my very soul, I will share it. I will share it with my brother. I will share it with my friends. I will share it with my eldest niece. Choose me to spread the words of Palmiotti and Gray, as well as the art of Mounts and Caracuzzo. Send me that package and the items that I don’t love personally will have homes found for them.
Also, pick me because I’m cute.
Actually, that last part was a lie, but the rest are my true intentions.
Congrations! You’ve been selected. Can you send me your mailing details to girlsreadcomics@gmail.com please?
Thanks!
Dee
Sorry, I can’t believe I got that wrong! girlsreadcomicstoo@gmail.com
You should totally pick me because I’m a horror freak, but being unemployed, can’t afford to buy new stuff. Plus I like getting stuff, especially from other countries, so it’s a win-win-win-win-win.
(Oh, and it’s Saw VII, and apparently/supposedly the last one. I can see why you skip it, but I confess to enjoying ‘em.)
(oh, look, I posted on the right one. Go me.)
Sadly there can be only one, and this wasn’t the winner. Sorry!
Pick me cuz im a greedy a$$ kid that wants comics for free :D haha
Sadly it wasn’t a compelling enough reason.

YOu should send it to me for teh reasons listed below:
1) I love the Punisher, so “Random Acts of Violence” is right up my alley!
2) Jimmy Palmiotti worked on the Punisher
3) Palmiotti’s porn ‘stache makes me want to have his babies. I am a dude, but I would find a way to make it happen.
4) Darwyn Cooke said so.
As compelling a reason as this is, there can be only one, and this wasn’t it. Sorry!
