REIGN OF STARSCREAM WINNERS!

Very sorry for the delay everyone. Things have been very, very busy lately.

The judges consisted of IDW employees, and I did not vote. I asked everyone to vote for their top 3 and a runner-up. Points were given based on their answers (4 points for First, 3 points for Second, 2 points for Third, 1 point for the Runner-Up). The entry with the most points was the winner.


But without further delay, here are the winners:

FIRST PLACE: TRUPSOR DENIS

Prize packs will be sent out next week!

Thanks to everyone who entered. There were a lot of votes and the judges thought it was very hard to pick their favorites. Great job and hopefully we can get another contest around the time of the trade paperback's release.

Thanks again and thanks for reading the story!

REIGN OF STARSCREAM CONTEST WINNERS....

...will have to wait another day or two.

I'm really, really sorry, but I've been swamped lately. Working on new projects, working in general, and dealing with some other stuff. I've got all of the votes in and just need to tally them.

I wanted to say thank you to everyone that entered. There are definitely some very talented and funny people out there. Even the judges repeatedly said that it was very cool to see so many creative people and how it was tough to nail down their favorites.

So nice job everyone. I promise that we'll get the winners posted today or tomorrow.

And here's proof that there's signed books! That's me, Josh Perez, and Alex Milne signing them at Comic-Con.

REIGN OF STARSCREAM CONTEST - ENDS TONIGHT!!!

Just a reminder that the contest ends tonight at 9pm PST!

Thanks for all of the entries so far, there's some very talented and funny people out there!

Winners will be announced on the day that Issue #4 is released... AUGUST 13th!

Thanks and good luck!

ISSUE #5 - APPROVED TO PRINT

Issue #5 was approved to print today. Not sure what the in-store date will be, but I'm sure I'll find it out sometime in the next week or two.

Thanks to everyone who's been following the series, and especially those that have taken the time to give their comments on it. I don't think you'll be disappointed in how it all "ends."

Speaking of things that are days away, it's Comic Con time again. This year I'll be working the IDW booth Wednesday night through Friday. Feel free to stop by and chat. Also, be sure to check out IDW's Transformers panel on Friday at 4pm. There'll be A LOT of surprises in store.

Thanks again!
Chris

REIGN OF STARSCREAM - CONTEST #1

We all know that Starscream escaped being captured by Sector Seven. But what if he never made it into space? Where on Earth would he have gone to?

So that's the contest! Send me your photos of Starscream (in toy form... any version) visiting somewhere on our planet. Would he go back to Ohio to seek out the fembots of Botcon? Would he be hiding at a local coffee shop? Finally learning about human physiology at the beach with Barricade? Of course, he wouldn't travel far without a copy of his comic book, now would he? IT'S UP TO YOU!!!

The Deadline for the contest is July 31st.

Simply send your photo to this email address: zosan73@yahoo.com and use the subject line STARSCREAM CONTEST.

After the contest closes, a panel of judges (from IDW) will select the winner and two runner-ups (Honorable Mentions). For this first contest, the winners will receive:

FIRST PLACE:
The ORIGINAL proofs and editing materials (lettering guides, script, revisions, etc.) for REIGN OF STARSCREAM #1. These materials include dialog and layout changes never-before-seen. The winner will also receive copies of Issues #1, #2, and #3, along with the scripts for those issues. The issues will be signed by myself, Alex Milne, Josh Perez, and Denton Tipton.

HONORABLE MENTIONS:
The Honorable Mention winners will receive copies of Issues #1, #2, and #3, as well as a copy of the scripts for those issues. Signed, of course.

So get out there with your toys and comics and take some pictures!!!

For example, here's one of him admiring my designs in the TRANSFORMERS: PREMIERE EDITION VOLUME 1.

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!!

RULES:

• One entry per person (entries must include your full name).

• Toys should be in the movie style and can include the FAB and Robot Heroes, too. If you don't have one, any version of Starscream will do. You can use other toys if the scene allows it, but Starscream MUST be the focal point. He'd have it no other way.

• Be creative and HAVE FUN!
