Part Two of The Power Play Pre-NYCC Scavenger Hunt

Okay people! You’ve LIKED The Power Play Facebook Page as part of the first challenge. Many thanks to you good people.

Okay that first one was pretty easy. And this one is easy too, as all we ask today is that you have a friend/loved one/mortal enemy who doesn’t read comics OR only reads print comics check out the FREE PREVIEW on Comixology.

Then just leave a comment on Comixology, on the Facebook Fan Page, or via Twitter letting us know what they/you like, didn’t like, or just which character they like best. Leaving a message on all three (and a fair rating on Comixology would help) will earn you bonus points.

PRIZES! With each task we put up on here I will announce another prize for those that complete all the missions. With our first one I mentioned that completing them all gets you a free copy of the first issue guaranteed!

For the first person to have successfully completed ALL the tasks before NYCC we will give you a lifetime subscription to POWER PLAY! That’s right, every time a digital comic comes out, when it goes to print, when it’s collected, you will receive a free copy because of your support from the very beginning.

Check back soon for another task and another prize announcement!

NYCC redux

A year and a half in the making, New York Comic Con 2010 was a great success. San Diego-like crowds on Saturday were insane, and our schedule of panels kept us hopping, for sure.

First, John and I would like to thank our incredible employees for manning the booth. You were amazing!

We did three big things at the con:

Jim Lee painted iPad

1) We gave away the Jim Lee painted iPad. Wow, we were sorry to see that go!

2) We launched all 40 Farscape comics from BOOM! Studios in the BOOM! Studios App. Fantastic stuff. Go get them!

3) We previewed our internal “authoring” tools at our creator self-promotion panel, which gave everyone a taste for the tools creators will get to eventually use to get their comics onto our platform.

We met a bunch of great retailers, had some super debates in the Scott Kurtz and Vision Machine panels, and I got to shake hands with Stan Lee at the MTV Geek Panel. Comic nerd heaven!

Congratulations to ReedPOP on a great show. We look forward to next year!
