AvPGalaxy Forums

The American version of the AvP Hunter Pack comes with a limited edition AvP comic. Despite what that article claims, the comic is not going to be available outside the USA so AvPGalaxy and Dark Horse have teamed up to give those in Europe a chance to get their hands on this limited edition comic. We have the one copy to give away and it’s extremely simple to stand a chance at winning.

All you have to do is be able to answer this question: “Which character in Anderson’s AvP was a homage to an Alien/Predator comic writer?” Using Twitter, send your answer to AvPGalaxy by typing @avpgalaxy and then your answer in your Tweet bar.

You will need to be registered on Twitter to do this but it’s quick and easy and leaves you with a chance at getting your hands on this remastered piece of AvP literature history with brand new cover art by Raymond Swanland. Please be aware this competition is only for residents of European countries. We will be closing the competition Sunday night so you have three days to get your answers in. Good luck!

Update: The competition is now closed. I’d like to thank all our participants. Just hang in there, we’ll be announcing the winner later today.

Update 2: Congratulations to our winner Katarn84! The correct answer to the competition was Mark Verheiden. I’d like to thank everyone for participating and keep an eye out for our next competition.

if SEGA is serious about wanting to give us the comic then they should just give us a .pdf version to download.

Dude, it's me and Dark Horse doing this, not Sega.

Answered the question via twitter as told.

Twitter... Nah, thanks.

Raymond Swanland ...hmm...the name ringed a bell...but I couldn't remember..Oh yes, Oddworld..Strangers Wrath.. Am I right??

Wish I were in europe   :(  

I wish someone hadn't screwed the Hunter Edition distribution rights in Canada!
Looks like a damn awesome hardcover.:)

Well, I'm in USA sooooo, I'll be getting this anyway.   :P  

lawlz... got my pc and 2 xbox limited editions.. though why a friggin face hugger?.. should of made a pred helmet or alien head or marine pulse rifle... ah well..

gonna keep one boxed up and sell it in about 10 years for 5,000 or so... rofl

I know the answer but I live in the US.

SO,u just have to write to the bar e.g.DarthVader@avpgalaxy?

or e.g. Darth Vader @avpgalaxy

Oh what about australia! We never get anything   :'(  

I have never used Twitter before, so is "typing" really a part of the message (typing @avpgalaxy)?

I think i got it.Is it like this?
e.g. @avpgalaxy Darth Vader

So its only for America!!! thats sucks   >:(  

Ok, this is tough. Which comic writer got an homage? Guess I'm not supposed to get that comic.

Yes, like that Reaper. You type @avpgalaxy first and then the answer.

Ok, I hope I did it right. I typed @avpgalaxy "my answer".

Tnx C.Hicks!

We write the name of the character.Right?
e.g. @avpgalaxy Alexa Woods
Another thing.What does homage mean cause my native language is not English.

An acknowledgment.

thats just stupid having to use Twitter. screw that!

Registered to twitter just for this comic... damn you for not putting it in the Italian box!   >:(    
I'll delete my twitter account once this thing is finshed.

Seems to be a little problem with the ps3 lobby sometimes for me i can't join a game even when i refresh it says lobby full or can't connect or match has already started even tho it says 5/8 or 7/8. It gets a bit annoying when u can't get into a game when u want to.
All i want to do is just play play play lol

What happens if you get the same answer from a bunch of people in 3 days?    Lottery or whoever writes first wins?

Lottery, as normal.

Well, if I win again, I hope I get my price this time. I think I won a poster once, never got it.   >:(  

All of the posters were sent out to all the provided addresses. That said, it only goes to re-affirm my hatred for the UK postal service.

I noticed that the American version seems to come with mostly everything our 3 separate UK versions come with, but in one tidy package. Let's see...

- Aliens vs. Predator game disc
- Access to 4 multiplayer maps
- Fully articulated Facehugger model*
- Dark Horse Comics graphic novel (US only)*
- Weyland-Yutani patch
- 3D lenticular postcard
- Limited Edition packaging*

The Comic AND the Facehugger!? C'mon, that aint fair. I'd have to buy 2 different packages to get that (£80, assuming the comic was available in the UK). I wanted that Facehugger so much, and now I want the comic even more, but I can't afford the special editions. Americans are so spoiled. Why is the comic not available here? Makes me   >:(   . I want it so much, it looks fantastically cool.

Maybe its because Dark Horse Comics is an American comics creator. Or maybe it would cost quite a bit more to print enough for the whole world. Or maybe Rebellion only paid them enough to print them for us in the US. Idk

Hello.

Anybody give me a little help, where can I find the answer, just a little help please.

just to clarify do u type @avpgalaxy"myanswer" on my profile page cos thats what i did i dont use twitter that often

That's correct.

thanks corporal hicks

when and how will we find out who the winner is?

I will update this post with the winner. And Monday.

Too bad there's only one copy to win. Is it really limited to the game's special editions and won't be sold otherwise?

Indeed it is.

@Dusk: a friend of mine also won a AvP2 poster here, never received it.

I already have the first avp omnibus what is so special about the one coming with the hunter's edition?  The new cover?   :(      :(  

Already got the original comic.   :)  

This is the same, just with slight recolouring.

Trick question. AVP (the movie) had nothing to do with anything, and does not exist.

I entered the comp a few days ago, but my Twitter name is slightly different to the one I use here, will that make a difference? Or do you just pick someone who twittered "@avpgalaxy answer" regardless of which name they use here? You just pick a twitterer?

Really easy question

Just the Tweet profile will be contacted. I will announce the name of the Tweeter here too.

K, thanks, Hicks.

you know we shud just get the comic with the hunter edition -_- this is just pitiful everyone in america gets this anyway and one lucky person in europe is going to get the A comic, its totally fair. f**k america seriously   :-\  

Oooohhh, which lucky single European is going to win? Time's getting close, eeep, who's it gonna be? Ooohhh, I'm all a tingle of excitement. This will be a grand victory for the whole of Europe! We could do a rental system, like one country borrows it for a week, displays it in libraries for all to see and enjoy, then the next week another country gets a loan of it. Eventually, all 731 million people will have read it, and we can rejoice!

Congratulations, Katarn84! So, just for closure-sake, what WAS the answer? I'd like know if my detective skills in figuring it out were successful. I wonder what the next comp prize will be. Something just as awesome, no doubt.

Mark Verheiden

Woohooo! Thanks everyone for this! Today the comic, friday the game!

Man, I'm such a retard, I did put the right the answer down after all. Thought I got it wrong.

Oh god!! Why did they have to use P.Anderson's AVP style logo?!!!
