Free Stuff Friday - Halo Helljumper and Gears of War Sourcebook comics

| 78 Comments
Halo Helljumper    Gears of War Sourcebook
This week's Free Stuff Friday is for fans of comics and shooter games.

Halo Helljumper #1 is the start of a new series that explores the realm of Human/Covenant conflict through the eyes of the Orbital Drop Shock Troopers (ODSTs).

Gears of War Sourcebook features the intriguing backstory of Dominic penned by Joshua Ortega and an expressive art gallery, all in one.

You can enter for both of these comics, or whichever one suits your tastes. One note: Generosity may be rewarded with a mystery bonus item (as it was last week!). So if you aren't really into Gears of War, play only for the Halo comic - or vice versa. But if you really do love both worlds, both comics could be your prize.

Here's how to enter:

Simply post a comment on this page. Say whatever is on your mind as long as it's not an ad or profane and INCLUDE WHICH COMIC YOU ARE PLAYING FOR, OR BOTH (and play only for what you'll really enjoy!). Be sure to read the Sweepstakes Rules to ensure you are eligible to win and don't get disqualified by double-posting or forgetting to provide an e-mail address.

You may also want to white list this domain; we've had several would-be winners lose out because they never responded to their prize notification! If you use TypeKey/TypePad, be sure your e-mail address will be shared. No e-mail address, no prize. (Don't worry, no one else will see it - and we'll only use it to contact you if you win.)

Note that unless you're an authenticated poster who has been active on the site and marked as trusted, your comment will NOT appear immediately. It will go into a queue for me to approve, which I'll do several times a day (except the first weekend, where comments may not be approved until sometime late on Sunday). Do NOT double-post. We'll extend the entry period for this until 5:01 p.m. Pacific Time on Thursday, August 13 to ensure you have plenty of time to enter and verify your entry was posted.

We also sometimes give away unannounced Instant Win prizes. Here are a few tips since this can happen at any time. (I'm pulling the next one together now!) 1) Follow Gamewatcher on Twitter. Before we post the next Free Stuff Bonus - Instant Win, we'll give you a fair warning tweet. 2) Subscribe to our RSS feed and set it to check for updates frequently.

We continue to stock up on cool goodies for Free Stuff Friday - and we will keep doing so as long as there's enough response, even if we continue to lose money on this site. So tell your friends about this! Hey, if we get bigger, so will the prizes that YOU could win!

While you're at it, post comments wherever you see something interesting. Also, if you get a game code you don't need or have some other cool game-related prize you want to donate, we'd be grateful (we pay for most of this stuff ourselves).

Check back each Friday to see what's next.

These both look awesome, but since im not really into comics...or reading in general, id probably have to go with the mystery prize.

Would like the helljumper comic. Gears ain't my thang!!!!

I like both the Halo and Gears of War universe however this time I'm going to only enter for the Gears of War Sourcebook.

Like reading the game books, would love to enter for both of the comics.

that gears sourcebook looks awesome :)

I'm playing for the Halo Helljumper comic, partly because I'm generous and partly because I care about Halo more than Gears. Also: I just followed you on Twitter.

Halo Helljumper #1 . I have never played gears so I will stick with Halo.

I only rent and play through Gears games once, but I own all the Halo games. Therefore, only toss me into the mix for Helljumper.

i'll go for gears, since those games never really had any story but the characters are really likable

Neat! I never really liked Gears much but I've been a Halo fan for years! So, Helljumper for me pease!

in the interest of being truthful I actually have no interest in GoW so I'll limit myself to the Halo one only.

I'd go for either. I just hope this Halo comic isn't delayed as much as Uprising was. Ugh.

Was never a halo fan,therefore I would like the Gears of War sourcebook please.

I'm not much of a Halo fan, but I do like Gears of War. I'd like that comic! :)

I already have the GOW sourcebook so I'm in for the Halo Comic

I've played both, but the characters in Gears were much better, so I'd like to enter for that one, thanks.

I would like the Halo book.

Seeing as how I DO NOT pay attention to Halo's storyline (played only for the multiplayer), I'll opt out for the Gears of War comic book. It looks amazing!
Definetly looks like something I should add to my collection soon!

Hmmm... I love Gears of War, but I've never actually played Halo. I'll go for the Sourcebook - partly because I don't especially care about the Halo book, but mostly because I really want to know what the possible mystery item is. :D

Nice, halo helljumpers. Still contemptlating over getting either ODST or GH5

I'm a big fan of Gears of War. Count me in for the sourcebook, please.

I'm in for the Halo Helljumper comic :D but the mystery bonus prize would be nice :D. Thanks for the giveaway

Hmmm....so hard to choose.... so I won't! Throw me in for both, please!

Hey love the idea of this site...a place that consolidates all the gaming goodness in one place. Easier to look here to find free stuff than wandering the xbox marketplace.

Thanks. I'm up for either comic as I play both games regularly....

Thanks for always offering these contests. I'd take either or both comics. I like both series of games but at the same point bouns prize....?

Both are pretty appetizing, but I think I Halo: Helljumpers has more value to it. Halo for me.

im big on comics these days so i think both would be great for padding my collection

As much as I loved Gears of Wars for its excellent campaign and many hours of co-op, I still must play for the Halo comic.

I love me some helljumpers and some gears source.

Oh snap! Free comix?! Put me down for Halo Helljumper! Thanks!

Sweet, The Helljumper one we be very cool to have.

The Gears one would be nice to have but I hoping for the Helljumper one.

Both comics follow great games, but halo's my thang. IZ WANTZ TEH H4LO C0M1C

I'd LOVE to win that helljumper comic. thanks for the offer!

The Helljumper comic would look good with my collection.

More Halo, Please!

I just found out about this, I guess that's why there are only 27 comments. I'd really like the Helljumper comic. You can probably safely expect more people from H.B.O.

Halo's my thing, just could never get that into Gears. So playing for the Helljumper comic.

COG VS ODST. Would be a great comic if those worlds were to collide.

Really looking forward to ODST, so I'd really like to read Helljumper.

I'm a huge Halo fan, I'd love a free copy of Helljumper #1.:)

I would love to be entered into the drawing for both comics. Thanks!

Since I'm eagerly waiting for ODST, I'm throwing in my ticket for Helljumper.

I want Halo Helljumper because Im addicted to Halo. Period.

I'd love both, but likely would not follow the Hellpumers series. Make mine the Gears Sourcebook....Dom always was my favorite.

Halo for me!

I'd like the Gears comment, but either is cool.

Halo Helljumper Plx! Can't wait for that.

I'm digging me that Halo Helljumper comic. Yeah, I like GoW, but not that much to spend all that time with it.

I love Halo, so I'd probably love Helljumper too!

Helljumper FTW!!!
