The Great Pink Kryptonite American Vampire Giveaway
Folks, I have no idea how to even begin to describe this to you. Scott Snyder, reader and commenter here at Pink Kryptonite, co-author with Stephen Freakin' King on the fantastic American Vampire, newly-named writer of Detective Comics, has sent us - you! - some serious goodies. It is difficult for me to describe this without expletive because I am So! Excited! about this!
Rather than tease this out I'm just going to list what I have to give away:
- One signed copy of the latest issue of American Vampire
- One signed promotional poster for American Vampire that features portraits of both Skinner and Pearl. This is a poster that I have only seen on the wall of my comics shop. This poster is gorgeous. You have no idea how gorgeous this poster is. It's at home and I'm at work so I'm going to half-ass an estimate that it's maybe 18"x30" or something in that neighborhood. I don't think those are "Internet inches" but we'll see.
- One complete set of signed issues of American Vampire. Yes, issues 1 through 5, all signed by Scott Snyder. A complete set. I am getting goosebumps just writing that.
(For purposes of full disclosure, yes, he sent a second signed poster that says "For Pink Kryptonite!" at the top, so yes, I am hell of* keeping that.)
When I opened the package I literally set everything down, paced back and forth in my kitchen and just said, over and over, "Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god." I couldn't believe it. It was all I could talk about this weekend and I am so stoked to give these away to you folks that I have struggled with how to do it. I considered having some entry mechanism like a trivia question, where all the right answers would go into a pool, but everything like that feels like it excludes people and I want all our readers to get a chance at this. So, here's how you enter:
Just send me an email at klarion at pink kryptonite dot net. Your email does not need to include anything other than a quick line identifying it as an entry in the Great Pink Kryptonite American Vampire Giveaway.
I'll post again about this every couple of days for the next two weeks and then at the end of that time I'll put all the messages in one folder, ask my boyfriend to pick a number between 1 & X, repeat twice, and those will be the winners. It's completely random and open to anyone. I suppose one has to love American Vampire to really enjoy winning, but that isn't exactly a high bar to get across.
Once I have the winners I'll contact them individually to get shipping information (so no, you do not need to include any sort of real-life identifying information in your initial email) and find out how they'd like to be identified as winners after the fact. I will throw in a little congratulatory note from us here at Pink Kryptonite and you, my lucky friends, will have a really special gift straight from one of our favorite writers. Everybody wins. Nice.

Other stuff like this: American Vampire, Scott Snyder
Wow, very cool thing for Mr. Snyder to have done, what a great guy! And props to you for introducing your readers to such a great series.
I have met Scott at my local comic book store. He's a great guy and I'm so glad his talents are being recognized! American Vampire is by the far one of the greatest new series to start this year!
