Points and reviews

Wanted to let everyone know - publishing your graphic novel review here at the GNA now earns ya a flat 50 MyGNA points. I felt this was only fair to those reviewing graphic novels for the GNA, in combination with our contributing editors.

Pretty much the same review guidelines apply as before:

Submit your review to reviews at graphicnovelarchive.com.
Be sure to include your GNA registered username.
Be sure to include the edition’s ISBN or ISBN-13 with your review.
Submission does not guarantee publication (we’re looking for quality over quantity).
Points will be rewarded with publication.

Thanks all!

Someone is going to have a long Halloween…

Life has been crazy hectic lately, what with moving the family to a new home and all of the hassle related therein, including finding the time to work with the GNA web site (further complicated with limited ‘net access).  But between the shuffling of boxes, boxes and even more boxes, I managed to find the time to put together the contributing editor prize awards for the month of October ‘08.

(Not familiar with the GNA’s contributing editor program?  Learn more here.)

Lined up for the contributing editor having earned the most MyGNA Points this month, DC’s Absolute Batman: The Long Halloween slipcased hardcover!

Absolute Batman: The Long HalloweenCourtesy the fine folks over at InStockTrades, the Graphic Novel Archive will be awarding a new copy of the Jeph Loeb/Tim Sale Batman epic, The Long Halloween - dressed and decked in DC’s mega-prestige Absolute hardcover format - to the GNA contributing editor having earned the most points during the month of October 2008.

Along with, I’ll be tossing in some convention deals and Ebay extras I’ve had here for a while, including Firestorm: The Nuclear Man: Reborn TPB and Ultimate Spider-Man Volume 4: Legacy TPB, as well as a new copy of the Daredevil 2-disc widescreen DVD (say what you will of the movie, the comics documentary is fantastic), along with a collection of random comics I’ll be pulling from my comic coffers.

And for the randomly selected contributing editor having contributed one point or more during the month of October 2008, the winner will receive the The Helmet of Fate TPB, Hulk: Incredible Marvel Age digest, and the Marvel Adventures Fantastic Four Volume 2: Fantastic Voyages digest.

Winners will be announced on November 1st (or soon afterwards).  ‘Till then, earning some MyGNA points will earn your chance to win!

I’d like to wrap this up with a thankful shout out to InStockTrades, provider of this month’s anchor prize.  If you’re a regular GNA visitor and have yet to give InStockTrades a try, be sure to swing by and check ‘em out.  Their discounts and free shipping offers are great, but it’s their incredible customer service that’ll win you over.  Don’t just support ‘em because they support the GNA - support ‘em because they’re fantastic at what they do.
