Yes, it’s time for another installment of WIN MY COMICS! Wait…how do you win my comics? Well, the rules haven’t changed; simply tell me why – in the comments section below – you deserve my comics! Be ridiculous, be desperate, and be silly and overly emotional. Heck, you can even be honest. Whatever your angle, just remember; if your reasoning is incontestably logical, or hilariously humorous, you might just find yourself with a batch of free, bagged and boarded, very well cared for comic books!

Okay…I just shot the cap-gun, blew the whistle and and elbowed a Garbage Nymph (WHAT?). Now, go ahead and let me know why YOU deserve to….
Because I was the first to leave a comment
That….is almost a good enough reason. Almost.
Because I’ve literally heard of none of these, and my ignorance is shameful to both you and myself.
Hmm. So winning these might be educational. That’s some very sound reasoning.
Because I took out the garbage with out being asked and let someone else have the last slice of pizza.
Because I will actually read most of these books!
That is a VERY good reason.
With the horrible impending possible digital only (shudder) world of the comics of the future, I’ll need a giant stack of real hold in my hands, smell of the paper throw backs to my childhood. Help me comics guru get a start on my comics stash. This comics geek is craving some comic book tastiness.
Because I will love them more than my girlfriend. I suppose that’s why I’m single…. but I’m being honest about my love for comics!
