Runaways Contest!

It's time for a new contest here at YACB!

I'm giving away two prize packages related to Marvel's acclaimed Runaways series by Brian K. Vaughan & Adrian Alphona:

The Grand Prize is all three volumes of the Runaways digests, collecting all 18 issues of the first volume of the series.

Second Prize is the first six issues of the first Runaways series (the ones that are collected in the first digest).

What do you have to do to enter? It's simple:

In the series, a group of kids discover that their parents are secretly super-villains. To enter the YACB Runaways contest, just email me a paragraph addressing the topic: If your parents were super-villains, which super-villains would they be, and why? (Please put 'Runaways Contest' in your email subject.)

Fine Print: Deadline for entries is next Friday, July 1st, at 11:59 pm EDT. Due to postage costs, only U.S. and Canada residents are eligible. The decision of the judge (me) is final. Only one entry per person. Your name and entry may be used on this blog when the contest winners are announced.

So what are you waiting for? Enter today!
