Bad Comics?


We all know that not every comic is a winner. I know I've bought a stinker or twenty. I'm sure I'll buy a few in the future as well. That's just the nature of it. Not just in comics, but in pretty much any medium remotely similar, prose novels, movies, music, and TV. But I found this really interesting offer in the back of one the comics I get this month. No I won't tell you which one, you all would never respect my opinion again. Let's just say it's a Devils Due book and leave it at that.

But as I was flipping through the ads at the end of the book I came across this amazing offer their doing, the DEVIL'S DUE's RIPPED-OFFer. Their spelling, not mine. The idea is surprising simple actually. Rip off the cover to a bad comic from one of "The Big Two" and send it to them, and they will send you a free comic. Along with the cover you send them the names of three different comics they publish that you would like to receive. The only conditions are that the stripped comic must have been released in the last two months, and that there is no guarantee you will get the comic you actually want. Who knows, this could all be a huge ploy to get rid of a massive overprint of Transformers: Beast Wars comics, but you never know, you might get a free issue of FAMILY GUY. And what do you really have to lose actually? You've already decided the comic you bought was crap, right? All the details.
