Geek-o-Rama Greatest Birthday Giveaway

As promised, we have one spectacular giveaway set up for all of you! We reached out to the comic book community and they didn't let us down. Fourteen of our favorite authors, artists and companies  chose items just for you and donated them! We cannot begin to express our thanks to them for supporting us. However, we're going to try...so when you're going through the giveaway, please consider liking the fan pages and sending those friend requests. Then, leave them a note to let them know that we sent you! That way they know that their donations were appreciated not only by us but by you, our readers and members of the geek-o-verse!

Now, for what you've all been waiting for....the giveaway! There are a lot of ways for you to enter and they're all super simple so try one or try them all! The more ways you enter, the more chances you have to win. At this time, we're planning on giving away 4 prize packages but until all of the packages arrive, we cannot tell you what will be in each package. As soon as it's all here in our hands, we'll try to take pictures and give you some sneak peeks of the prizes! Due to shipping costs, we're sorry but this giveaway will be open to residents of the continental United States only. With any luck, we'll be able to hold another giveaway in the future open to more of you.

Rex Zombie Killer

Yay, another zombie book! I know that's what you're thinking and honestly, I thought it too. Zombies are the new vampires and honestly, I'd rather have sparkly vampires. Now, before you throw stones or glitter at me, at least let me finish this review.

Rex isn't like any other zombie story out there. It isn't about yet another group of people holed up somewhere shooting zombies in the head in the hopes to survive. Rex is all about a group of animals, including a baseball bat wielding gorilla, making their way across the country. Their goal? Safety and maybe a new home. Their challenges? Zombies (duh!) and the scum of the Earth that somehow always survives these things.

Before you know it, you'll be falling in love with the characters and if you're anything like me, cheering them out loud as they face one challenge after another. It's true. If you'd been in my bedroom while I was reading this, you'd have heard me muttering go Buttercup..go...Of course, after that, I'd probably have screamed to find you standing in my bedroom, but let's move on from that, shall we?

These guys here are the ones you'll be falling for before you know it. You'll be cheering them on and then looking at your own pets just a little bit closer. This double-sized, 56-page one-shot ships in April at a special price of only $3.50, and will be available for pre-order in the February 2012 Diamond PREVIEWS catalog. (Order Code: FEB12 0806)  It is rated TEEN+ for mature themes and violence, however, I can tell you that my 11 year old read the first few pages of this and is just waiting for me to hand over the laptop long enough for him to read the rest. It's one of those books that you need to read for yourself and then decide if your child is ready for it. Additional one shots are planned for the future and I can't wait to get my fingers on them!

I was provided with a digital preview copy of this book. As always, all comments, thoughts, and ramblings are 100% my own. Thank you to Big Dog Ink and Rob Anderson for the use of the photos included in this review.
