Winner

    So I'm a week late but when it's free stuff I'm sure you guys don't mind. The current contest was favorite Saturday morning cartoons, we had some fantastic answers from you guys. One stood out more than others, check what Ciara had to say:

"Oh wow! There was so many but one of my favs to watch back in 86' was the Snorks & Pee-Wee's Playhouse! Voltron was another fav of mine, my brother & I used to sit in front of the TV and battle our figurines while we watched the show. Also, can you believe I still have my original Rainbow Bright & her dog? When I used to work at the museum where I live, we did an 80's theme & displayed my toys :)"

    Thanks for the entries guys and make sure you keep coming back and follow us on Twitter @slycomics.

The Winner Is

    We didn't quite reach that 100 mark we were shooting for but you guys did a great job, we appreciate all your entries. Because we had so many people entering next time we do a MP give away we are going to drop the entry counter down a bit so we can give away a 4k card, this time is only the 1600 mp card. This contest has been the single hardest one to pick a winner on, some were funny, some were terrible, some were so touching I wish I could give all of them a card. Some of these really meant a lot, they really showed the spirit of giving and that to me is the most important part about the holidays. It came down to three entries for me, I don't want anyone pissed off about how close they came so I'm only going to post the winner. And the winner is @Bombermerc who wrote this:

    " Best gift ever was a tiny miniature from my then seven year old daughter. The gift itself was okay, but it came with a note where she first called me dad. She was five when I met her and her mom, and we're now a happy family 8 years later."

    Amazing story, short and sweet. Thanks again to everyone who entered, remember to come back for a new give away and follow us @slycomics on Twitter.

Last Give Away Before Christmas

    Hey guys we have a give away coming at you and this is going to be a good one hopefully. This is going to be a conditional give away, if we hit a hundred people entering I will give away a 4000 Microsoft Point card, if we cant hit a hundred I will still give away a 1600 card. It's the holidays so who couldn't use some extra points to get some cool stuff? I know there are enough gamers, nerds, and randoms to get us up to one hundred people entering. Help us hit the highest amount of entries we have ever had. So the question is going to be holiday related and here it goes. What has been your favorite gift you have received during the holidays? This could be anything, you could be like the N64 kid and it could be something in line with this website, or it could be something close to your heart that was special. If you follow us on Twitter I will let you have two entries my only stipulation is you have to write "Second Post" at the top of your entry, if you try entering more times I will count you out, if you don't follow us on Twitter you only get the one entry. We are also looking for at least 100 people entering so if you enter twice that still only counts as one towards our one hundred. Hey I'm giving away free stuff that I pay for so you are going to have to deal with my technicalities so boom. Enter, have fun with it, we look forward to reading what you guys have to say.

 

Happy Holidays

All your friend's at Sly Comics, but mostly Robert.

And the Winner Is

    There weren't as many entries as I would have liked but the quality was extremely high so thank you. I had a hard time deciding, sometimes I go with something funny, sometimes I go with just good old stuff, this weeks was just a great entry. LDP is the winner of the Dr. Doom bust, check out his entry:

"My favorite villain would probably be Doom or Thanos, but only because they're such regal bad asses and that's too easy an answer, so instead of my favorite, I'll tell you who I think is THE BEST comic book villain: Alter Tse'elon from Y: The Last Man. When Yorick Brown is left as the last male human on the planet, Alter sets out on a mission from the IDF to secure him for Israel. It's imperative that she capture him to secure the future of her country and people. She's kind of like another great bad guy, Magneto, in the sense that her actions aren't necessarily born of evil, but rather out of a sense of duty to her people. Or at least it seems that way at first. As she gets progressively more and more ruthless through the series (even eclipsing Magneto and people like Doom and Norman Osborn) and as the assault on Israel that she was expecting were she not able to secure Yorick fails to materialize, you begin to understand her motivations a little more. Her nationalism and devotion was a front for the more complex psychological issues that drive her. Driven not by The Mission, but by her own survivor's guilt and suicidal self-loathing and a twisted, ironic misogyny that leads her to think of Yorick, as the last MAN in the world, as the only person left that's worthy of giving her the death she feels she deserves. The senseless, selfish reasoning behind her actions raises them from just ruthless to completely horrifying, but unlike the Ultrons and Darkseids and Carnages that we all love reading about, there is nothing cartoony or over the top about her. She is just a human like the few billion others on this planet and absolutely believable. There are tons of cool bad guys in comics. Alter Tse'elon is the only one that ever truly frightened me and made me think of the people around me and wonder what they were capable of, what terrors they could perpetrate for the saddest, most self-serving reasons. The Paternos of the world invariably make me think of her and that's why, even if I can't call her my favorite, I say she is THE BEST comic book villain I have ever read. She makes The Governor look like Paste Pot Pete."

    Great original entry right? Make sure you come back tomorrow because we will be announcing the new give away. Thanks again everyone.

This Give Away is DOOMED!

    Hey it's that time again, well it's a week late from that time but what do you care? You get free stuff out of this deal. Well this week's give away is for a Dr.  Doom bust from Diamond select toys, numbered 419 out of 5000. The question is this, who is you favorite comic villain and why? Simple question, so simple I feel like I have used it before but who cares. Let us know who yours is and cross your fingers that you win this awesome statue. Picture after the jump

And The Zombieland Winner Is

    Man I'm having a problem picking a winner this week, my favorite is the Chuck Norris comment but that person won the last give away. If you win one you are eligible to win others we just try and keep people from winning back to back prizes. With that said I have to go back and try ti actually pick one of these, who to choose who to choose. Alright, I am not a 24 fan but this entry was pretty funny and I enjoyed it. This weeks winner is Derek B who said this

"The obvious answer is Jack Bauer. There is nothing this man can't stop. He can stop terrorist attacks in under a day. He has been close to dying countless times. A zombie outbreak would be nothing for him. He could stop the zombie outbreak within an hour even with commercial breaks."

    Thanks to all of you for the great entries, make sure you keep coming back and entering all our cool give aways.

New Sweet Zombie Give Away

    We at Sly Comics love zombies just as much as the next guy, well probably a little more but that is a conversation for another time. So here's my question to you guys, if there was actually a zombie outbreak who would you want on your side? Obviously peoples names who come to mind are Ash, Rick Grimes, hell Tallahassee would be epic. You give me the person and why and if you are the winner you will be getting Zombieland on glorious Blu Ray so you can watch all the gore on high definition.

Winner of the ICO/Shadow of the Colossus collection.

    It's that time again, time to give this sucker away. We had another good group of entries for this giveaway (not as good as the last few, but still pretty good) and I'm going to take this one the other way. We got a lot of responses regarding a few games that I personally think might make good movies too, Uncharted, MGS, Gears of War, etc... But they have all been built up so much to this point that a movie might not work out too well. However, I really like the idea of Abe's Oddysse. It's been a LONG time since I even played that game but man I think that this idea by far would be the coolest. Congratulations to James Smith for his entry and to everyone else, stay tuned for our next giveaway!

Another video game giveaway!

    So the last few giveaways have been video game related, and they both have gotten a lot of comments which we love to see. We want more people checking out what we do here and we got stuff to help you out along the way. So for this one, the question is going to be: What game do you think could be turned into a good movie? This is a tough one since almost all movies based off of games are terrible, but there is always hope. So what do you think? The prize is going to be a cinematic worthy one, a brand new copy of the ICO/Shadow of the Colossus Collection for PS3. So let us know what you think, and we will give you a winner in a few weeks.
