My excitement over the impending theatrical release of The Avengers has reached fever pitch – actually, that happened quite some time ago, but maybe that’s obvious? – and I have long been contemplating doing something here on the blog during the month leading up to opening night to help ease some of the anxious, oh, God, it’s almost here energy zipping through my veins. What better way to kick things off than with a giveaway?
I’ve already assembled – see what I did there? [insert dopey grin here] – the base of the prize pack, which you can see below, but that won’t be all the chosen (by Random.org) winner will receive. Over the course of the month I will be adding an item or two or more to the pot (including, all things depending, any goodies I may pick up at Boston Comic Con). I will post new items as they are added (or perhaps not; a surprise might be nice too), but in order to enter you must comment on THIS post. Make sense?

He’s saying “Yeah” here. I know; it looks like he’s saying hi. Does it even matter? Because his face. (source)
Okay. What I’ve put together so far:

The picture is fairly clear – for once! – but just in case:
- Captain America: The First Avenger (Surely you didn’t think I’d hold an Avengers giveaway and not include this.)
- The Avengers t-shirt
- A Tokidoki Marvel which-one-will-you-get? itty-bitty figure (What are these things called anyway?)
- A little pouch with chibi Cap, Iron Man and Thor depicted in all of their adorable glory
- Avengers Assemble #1 (This is the first issue; I’m going to do my best to collect each one that’s released before the giveaway is drawn to include in the prize pack. No guarantees, though.)
The fine print:
- Open until May 4th
- US addresses only (please and sorry!)
- Comment on this post to be included in the drawing
- I will notify the winner via email on May 5th or 6th
Over the next month, expect to see a LOT of Avengers related posts, including thoughts on various Avengers (group and solo) graphic novels, fan art and fan fiction finds, and a shockingly (or not) large number of Chris Evans Captain America pictures.
<–You’ll also find this winging its way to you if Random.org generates your number.
I reviewed it here (examples of the artwork are included in the post if you’re curious). I loved it from start to finish (though the two Avengers stories were my favorite of the six).
Hopefully, someone will want what’s being offered in this giveaway, and if it’s you, good luck!

I can’t wait for the Movie to come out. Very cool giveaway! Sign me up!
I hadn’t realized how big of a Marvel fan I was until I tried actually reading the comic books.
I initially tried the DC reboot with their 52 new titles & based on the years of canon that they threw out, I was more than miffed. Went off to read Marvel instead & by Thunder – I should have switched sides a long time ago.
The movies are what initially got me interested but I swear comic & movie-verse Loki from Thor is my favorite character ever. Though, I’ll admit I have a deep and abiding love for trickster archetypes.
All that being said, I can’t wait to see the movie & I’ll be there opening night sporting my “Loki’s Army” t-shirt with pride.
So if you could please sign me up for this giveaway, I’d be mightily thankful.
Thanks.
OK, I shall sign up for this one. I really want to read the Marvel Fairy Tales.
Thanks for having the Avengers Assemble Giveaway! I am a long-time FAN of the Marvel Universe! And this is certainly a prize pack that ANY TRUE FAN would be greatful to get in on! Please sign me up for this giveaway. Awesome!!!
Would love to win this!
Awesome. I’ve been waiting for this movie since Ironman. It’s also killer to hear that the test screenings went so well that Marvel is stepping up production on future movies. The announcement also was made that we might start seeing 3 additions a year to the Marvel Movieverse ( Earth-199999 in comic terms ).
This one should be a lot of fun. Early reviews are sounding really fantastic. I’m cracking up over all your enthusiastic Avengers posts, especially because I can relate so well to being passionately geeked up about stuff.
LOVE the art on that Marvel Fairy Tales cover. Wow!!!
Please include me in your drawing, very fun idea.
OMG, I sooooo want to win this!!!! IwantitIwantitIwantit!!!!! Pick me Random.org. Pick me!!!

I can’t WAIT for this movie!! AND…they’re already working on Iron Man 3 too! goodygoodygoody *clapping* It’s so awesome that superheros are cool again!! LOL
Love, LoVe, LOVE the print of Thor and Loki! Thanks for assembling this AWESOME giveaway.
I was going to not enter this, but I can’t resist art and that comic book looks divine. Consider me in! Also, I <3 Loki and Iron Man. This is going to be the second movie I'll see since having my baby and I consider it worth having to spend the money for a babysitter to see it!
I still need to watch Thor before I watch The Avengers!
I can’t wait to see this movie!!! Thanks for the chance!
I want the Jo Chen print soooo badly.
really looking forward to the movie!
I’m so excited to see this movie!
What an awesome giveaway! I especially love the art.
