Batman vs. Ultimates Contest Winners

Way back in March I ran a contest where I asked you to choose which long-delayed comic would come out first: All-Star Batman and Robin, the Boy Wonder #5 or Ultimates 2 #13.

Wouldn't you know it, they both came out on the same day!

So I'm picking one one winner for each choice (chosen randomly via coin flips):

The winner for All-Star Batman is Bill "madpuppy" Lamonica. Bill's prize package is: Batman Confidential #1, Superman/Batman #1, and Gotham Central #34.

The winner for Ultimates 2 is Scott of Polite Dissent. Scott's prize package is: New Avengers #1, The Mighty Avengers #1, and The New Avengers Illuminati: Secret History #1.


Gentlemen, just send me your postal address via email and I'll drop your comics off in the post to you forthwith.


Thanks to everyone who entered. And don't forget, anyone can enter for a chance to win free comics in our current Free Comic Book Month promotion!
