The final offering for our Two Years Later anniversary giveaways is the Grant Morrison penned Final Crisis. Unlike the previous trades, this one is actually the hardcover version of the NY Times top selling graphic book. While it's difficult to find any two fans that agree on what they thought about the title, it is hard to argue that this isn't a unqiue and rewarding experience that will be discussed for years to come as to the relative success or failure of the writing style Morrison chose.Eric reviewed the hardcover recently in his Trade Waiting column and I was covering it in singles as it came out, for those interested in our reviews of the book. I also did some annotations for the entire series, which should prove quite useful to the eventual winner of this contest, and which you can find in our free, downloadable magazine, TMC - The Monthly Crisis Vol 1.
Tired of our jibber jabber? Hit the jump to find out how you can win this beautiful hardcover!
But first, don't forget to sign up for our Day 2, Day 3 & Day 4 giveaways to win a copy of Jason Aaron's Scalped Vol 1: Indian Country
, Joe Kelly's I Kill Giants
& Darwyn Cooke's Parker: The Hunter, respectively.

I found the weekly crisis from the PA forums, sometime right around the beginning of the site. I always enjoyed Kirks comments so I clicked on the banner and have been a fan ever since.
Even when I was without a computer, I checked the site everyday from my sidekick.

I found weeklycrisis on another blog, I believe it was Rokk's Comic Book Revolution. And the name was catchy so I clicked. Moments of the Week kept me here, and everything else is an added bonus.

I had seen Weekly Crisis mentioned in alot of other sights, so one day I decided to check it out. Ever since that day, I check the site a few times a day. And I always look forward to moments of the week.

I found the Weekly Crisis through the Penny Arcade forums in the Graphic Violence comic book subforum where KVW posts not frequently enough.

God, how did I find this place? I think I was looking for a decent comic blog, following some annoyance at ign comics for being unsurprisingly lame. First place that came up in my look for a decent site was this. Never looked back.

I came across Weekly Crisis about a year or so ago when I did a google search for something like along the lines of "Michael Turner sucks" or something like that because I really hated Michael Turner's art and I knew I couldn't have been the only one that felt that way. That google search somehow came up with the link to this really insightful article exploring just why Michael Turner's art is so bad... http://www.weeklycrisis.com/2007/11/comic-book-rant-michael-turner-cant.html Well after that, how could I NOT come back.
I'd be stupid not to be in this contest, even though Parker is clearly the superior prize!
I came here because I was chatting with Matt on Twitter and went to his site and then saw that he was now on this site. And a rainbow connection was birthed into the world.

I was linked to this site in a completely unrelated irc channel I guess about a year and a half ago, maybe a bit longer. I was still just getting into comics at the time, and I saw it as a valuable resource for keeping up with what was happening. I bookmarked it almost immediately and have since been an avid reader.

I found Weekly Crisis when I did a google search for a good comics blog. I thought there would be tons and tons of good ones but there really isn't. Luckily, after sorting through a top 20 blog listing I found this one and are now hooked!

My good friend Christian (a natural born nerd) linked me to the post "what i think dc is doing wrong" and since that day i been an avid reader.
You know, I was reading all these comments, trying to remember how I first got to this site, and I think it was the same way as Rawnzilla. I think it was the Nerd Rage Report that linked me to this site.

I found that I enjoyed your writing and perspective the most, then I started checking back on the site every day and really enjoyed/appreciated the different columns you do outside of reviews.

I found out about Weekly Crisis, following Matt's Blog, which I've stumbled upon on dmstarz Top 250 Marvel Covers List, I believe. Anyway, when he mentioned he's moving here, I've followed to see what's going on here and thus became a regular reader, and not so frequent poster. :D

Michael Ledford

I ran across this site back in March, through Rokk's Revolution. He ahd just won a Dardos award and was talking up the blogs he really respected. I checked them all out, but I remember this one had a glowing review of War of Kings #1, which I honestly thought was just going to be a crappy spin-off of some third tier X-Men/Fantastic Four characters. I picked it up on you advice, and never regretted it. Later I came in and someone wrote about how Adrian Veidt's climactic line had lost impact in the Watchmen movie. I was so impressed that someone else noticed how "neutered" it felt! Finally, what got me coming back EVERY day was a Soapbox post about Spidey's OMD, and how it was really the third time we've been through all this. As someone who's been buying Spidey since Issue 400, I totally agreed, and when I saw Eric could at least cut them some slack as another long time Spidey fan, I figured I'd give the trades a shot. And I'm glad now, because I don't think I'd have picked up American Son if not for the trades, and I wouldn't have picked up the trades if not for Eric. So thanks for bringing me back to Spidey Eric!

I did a google search for comic book reviews and you guys came up. You are currently the third site I check daily (Facebook, CBR and you) moving ahead of Newsarama and the Daily Spoiler. Love the strides you guys have made just in the year I have been reading.

I'm not positive, but I think I found this site just through a google search for comic websites. Once I read the site, I kept coming back for more.

I ran across the sight when looking up comics to buy in trades... Being a blogspot user already I was interested in a site that was so well put together that was about an medium that interested me... I've been smitten with the site ever since. Keep it up.

I know I found the Weekly Crisis through a Google search. When I got into comics (through trades) in Feb. 08, the first things I picked up was Green Lantern: Rebirth and Infinite Crisis. I stumbled upon the blog by looking up Final Crisis reviews and annotations, which coincedentally was the first comic I bought in singles. Honestly, this would make my year to win this. Keep up the awesomeness.

to be honest, I can't remember the exact site I linked from. I reckon it was the Newsarama blog, a post on there somewhere. but, the post that I was linked to was Kirk's list of characters most likely to be Skrulls, and I think said post was made some time before Secret Invasion #1 came out. It was really interesting, and he made a good case for Dr. Strange (so much so that I was actually expecting him to be a Skrull). I then started checking out other posts, and i'm still here today!

I came across this wonderful site while i was reading the comments over at Newsarama. I was looking at a story about Blackest Night that had very little content and in the comment section someone basically said 'this sucks, weekly crisis is doing a way better job. So i've been here for jsut a few weeks but i love it. Keep up the good work.
Matt Jackson

Would you believe I found the site via the Final Crisis annotations you did for The Monthly Crisis? Someone posted the pages on Scans_Daily (or Daily_Scans, I forgot when that change over was) and I was totally enthralled. It helped me make sense of this confusing series and get more out of it.
As I scoured the pages for information, I found the website address, and decided to check it out. I've been coming here daily ever since.

I first found the Weekly Crisis when I did a Google search for "weekly comic book reviews". It was one of the first few hits, and I loved the title, so I clicked and have been hooked since. Kirk gave us a big scare last winter, but the WC has emerged stronger and better than ever! Viva la Crisis!

After exhausting all resources looking for intelligent and well-written reviews/comments about the comic literature genre, I found the Weekly Crisis. It also involved the same level of soul searching relevance that the 0'Neil/Adams run on Green Lantern-Green Arrow had in the 70's.
Nah, I saw a link somewhere and just got to it!
Whoa, guys. 95 comments. Heavy stuff. Congratulations! Hopefully this OYL kick really increases your subscribers.
I was looking for some comic review sites about a year and a half ago and this site really stuck out. The format looked incredible and the posts were even better. LOVED the Comic Book Moments of the Week. Bookmarked it, and now, it's on my reader. It's hard to forget a site like this.
