Sure, E3 gave us lots of goodies...seems FC isn't even trying to dangle the carrot anymore with these updates. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad they are getting recognition (awards) but should that really be an update for the community? Hmm, maybe...but I wanted more! Gimme gimmie gimmie

hopefully it's in regards to the "feats" they implemented this weak

- Jun 02, 2006
Fancy winning a place in our beta tests later in the year? Celebrate news of our upcoming collaboration with Dark Horse Comics with our great comic competition today!

We are delighted to announce today that in conjunction with Dark Horse Comics, a special Age of Conan limited edition comic will be produced! The unique comic book will premiere at the Comic-Con convention this summer, and will be printed in 400.000 copies.

The comic is being created by the award-winning Dark Horse Comics team, and Conan luminaries with the likes of Cary Nord, Scott Allie, our own Gaute Godager, Tim Truman and Tone Rodriguez creatively involved!

Competition!
To celebrate this release we have an extra special competition for you all today, with the prize of a place in our beta testing up for grabs*

So what do you have to do? Well we thought what would be better then giving you the chance to be a little creative in the comic medium as well! The kind folk at Dark Horse have provided us with two great pages from the comic, but without their final lettering. What we would like you to do is show us your creative skills and complete the pages. You can simply fill in the existing word bubbles or even add in a few of your own if you would like!

It is a pretty strange competition, considering the pages are simply action. I have no ideas....
you guys who do get on it and secure some beta slots!

I don't like the * note... : "Please note that the beta period will not start until later in the year"

Can some one confirm, is that what the comic version of Conan looks like now? Its been a long time for me.

I like the looks of the darkhorse books. I'll be getting a hold of the TPBs sometime this month. Yeah, the images are a bit awkward since it's mostly action with a few bubbles. Doubt I'll enter this one either.
