Comic-Con giveaway swag

First off, congrats to last week's giveaway winner, Kristen M. of Atlanta, for winning an Age of Empires helmet signed by the Age of Empires Online development team.

Now, didn't make it to Comic-Con this year? Comic-Con's coming to you -- in a big way. Seth Rosenblatt, one of our CNETers reporting from the show floor, scoured the place for stuff he thought Crave readers would like. And holy swag, Batman, did he hit a geek gold mine!

The winner of this giveaway gets a whole gaggle of prizes, including a slipcased edition of Image Comics' "The Walking Dead: Rise of the Governor"; a Shadowline "Fractured Fables" anthology featuring the work of more than 50 acclaimed graphic novelists; a special-edition "Courtney Crumrin and the Night Things" signed by author Ted Naifeh; and a fresh stash of comics -- among them Hellboy from Dark Horse Comics, The Tower Chronicles from Legendary, and Showdevils from Mother Mind signed by the creative team and The Enigma himself.

DC Comics also supplied three #1 comics from the New 52, including first printings of Aquaman #1 and Action Comics #1.

In addition, we're including a Mimoco Chewbacca microSD drive and card reader, and from DC Universe, a Catwoman keyring and Green Lantern and Sinestro mini action figures. You'll find a few other surprises in the box (and wait til you see next week's Comic-Con-related big-ticket prize).

Normally, this bundle of geek fabulous would set you back approximately $200, but you have the chance to get it free. So how do you do that? Well, there are a few rules, so put down the cosplay body paint for a moment and listen up.
