We hope your holidays have been splendid and that Santa Cox left some goodies under your tree. I got a Doctor Who shirt, poster and pin, as well as some socks. And some gift cards. So, score.

Thanks much to anyone who reblogged a post during our little giveaway. We wanted to give something back to the community of folks who read our blog, and hopefully connect a little more on a personal, “here, have some of our stuff” level.

That said, congrats to Joe Hunter for winning the Day 12 package. We’re internetfriends and it’s always fun when the old random number generator lands on a buddy. For those of you who didn’t win, stay tuned as I’m sure we’ll keep this giveaway thing here and there from now on.

Anyway, I’m about to watch the Doctor Who Christmas special and then stare at the yule log whilst I sip the rest of this bottle of malbec. Have a good one, kids.

12 Days of Boss-mas: Day 12

Sorry this is so late, kids. It’s Boss-mas eve, in Hollis Queens! Or, um, on the internets. Thanks to everyone who reblogged our little contest. To be honest it was all Davis’ idea. He’s full of good ones.

This nerdblog is ran mainly by Miguel, Davis, and me (Andrew). Ian and Michael post when they can. We also have a webcomic that’s been more sparse than we like it to be, but we’re all “adults” with “real jobs” (whatever that means) so sometimes it takes a back burner. We’re planning on bringing it back. This blog is our chance to indulge a bit in the subjects our main tumblr readers might not suffer, but you all do so well. Thanks for reading and clicking those buttons in the top right of the browser.

The authors of this blog literally met through an online facial hair growing and self-portrait contest website. True story. Look us up. So we fully understand the power of the internets. And that’s why we did this contest, to give back to this thing we’ve come to enjoy so much not only for entertainment, but as a venue to meet cool people. We’ve made more friends via this blog, and we’d love to get to know even more of you. Joe Hunter’s going to shit a brick when I show up at his doorstep some morning.

We hope your year’s been amazing. We hope that 2012 is even better. I just got a 360 so I’ll prob start posting video game stuffs along with Davis, and not just comic shit all the time (nobody wants to hear my rants about how nobody loves Deathstroke and everyone loves Deadpool (it’s the gray hair, you age-ist younglings)… OR MAYBE YOU DO)

A reblog of this post gets you:

Autobiographix (Wagner, Sakai, Eisner, Aragones, Chadwick)
Iron Man: Enter The Mandarin (Eric Canete arts!)
Scientific Progress Goes Boink
Tokidoki Rogue charm

Make sure we can /ask you for your info. Otherwise you won’t win.

And a congrats to Amanda for winning the Batman/Bane/Azrael TPBs yesterday. She’s going to pull an all-knighter reading it (see what I did there?).

Happy Boss-mas, everyone.

12 Days of Boss-mas: Day 8

Keeping with Davis’ depresso theme, Day 8’s giveaway is comprised of a sad yet seminal issue in comics history, and a really cool Bat-family one-shot drawn by Toby Cypress (Blue Estate, Rodd Racer) where Batman is poisoned and Dick has to race to save his life. Toby’s style is really ink-heavy (think Mignola, Sook, Matthew Dow Smith)

A reblog of this post gets you in the running for:

Superman Vol 2 #75 (1993) - Sealed, with trading cards, poster, obituary, and mourning armband
Batman/Nightwing: Bloodborne (this satisfies my slight “indie” theme)

Make sure you have /ask turned on so we can let you know you’ve won and also get your shipping info.

Big ups to Paul for winning the Day 7 giveaway. Davis will have Infinity Gauntlet #1 out to you faster than Thor caught “Warrior Madness” (i.e.: Asgard Syphilis)

12 Days of Boss-mas: Day 5

MORE FREE STUFF

Andrew here again, back with the 5th day of Boss-mas, a day where Davis, Miguel and I traditionally play AD&D via Facetime. Add to that a drinking game for every time Davis’ DMing leads to “a cute cat approaches out of the darkness”, and we’re all quite knackered at an early hour. It is Boss-mas, after all.

For today’s prize, I’ve got some good indie-ish stuffs for you:

Andi Watson’s Samurai Jam GN (Complete with extras!)

12 Days of Boss-mas: Day 4

MORE FREE STUFF

We hope you have a lot of time set aside for your Boss-mas break, because one of you is about to have an overload of awesome indie gaming to do.

For today’s prize, we’re buying one of you a Humble Indie Bundle! We’ll even be buddies and throw in more than the average to win you two extra games.

They’ve already raised over $1 mil for charity, but considering they’ve wrangled together some of the biggest indie games in the past few months for this one, it’s no surprise.

Congrats to our old internetfriend Eric yesterday, whose reblog was picked by our random number generator. Eric gets to win all of Miguel’s Pez dispensaries and a teeny tiny AMC Delorean. If he ever lives with Rick Moranis and a baseball crashes through the window, he’ll be able to travel through time.

12 Days of Boss-mas: Day 2

Andrew here. I’m going to do at least one indie/small press item on the days I’m playing Santa Cox. And I’m not sure if you all picked up on the fact that the 12 Days of Boss-mas is your chance to win absolutely, shipped to your house,

FREE STUFF

J. Marc Schmidt’s Eating Steve graphic novel

And congrats to hoveringbadger, who took home the Mass Effect 3 inflatable multi-tool laser sword thing. I mean, Davis is gonna be up shit creek if aliens with a fear of fake inflatable laser swords ever attack Brooklyn, but you know, have fun with it.

Andrew has been making a list, Miguel has been checking it twice, and Davis knows whether you’re naughty or nice.

Starting tomorrow and running through Boss-mas Eve, we’ll post a new item every day, and we’ll pick a random reblog to win. Enter as much as you want, though you can only win once.

Some of them are funny, some are awesome, some make very little sense, but it’s the thought that counts right? Sorta like that time your mom bought you a Captain Kirk ornament when OHMYGODMOMIHATESTARTREKIWANTEDBESPINLUKE. GAH.

Have yourself a merry little Boss-mas.

Renaud has progeny.
