Contests and comics and clicks, oh my!
Here are some current contests going on in the blogosphere:
- At Bloggity-Blog-Blog-Blog, Laura Gjovaag is giving away a copy of Colonia: Islands and Anomolies and a page of original artwork from the same. Deadline is 9 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 20.
- Dr. Scott at Polite Dissent wants you to win a copy of Nikolai Dante: The Romanov Dynasty, and he's come up with different ways to enter. Deadline is midnight Jan. 31.
- Comic Book Galaxy is offering a nutty range of Street Angel goodies, not only to contestants but to their favorite comic shops. Entries must be received by 11:59 p.m. Monday, Feb. 28.
- DC has the first trade of the excellent Ex Machina, along with the latest issue of Birds of Prey (#78) and the second volume of Land of the Blindfolded. (I thought the first volume was intriguing, and I'll definitely give the second a look.)
- The sixth issue of Manhunter also arrives, continuing a follow-up story from Identity Crisis. The protagonist is charged with prosecuting the Shadow Thief for the murder of Firestorm. Since she wanted to kill him the Hawkman foe in her vigilante guise, she sees this as a chance to execute him in a more formal manner.
- At Marvel, Madrox concludes with its fifth issue. Peter Milligan, much-loved for his satirical take on mutants and super-heroes in X-Statix, treads more conventional territory in X-Men 166. (Early reviews have been mixed, but I'm still interested.)
