DSTLRY Launches an Original Art Giveaway via Reader Survey

DSTLRY is providing an opportunity to give four lucky recipients who complete a brief survey the chance to win one of four stunning pieces of original, oversized art from four of DSTLRY’s Founding Creators: Tula LotayBecky Cloonan, Mirka Andolfo, and Joëlle Jones. The art portrays characters from current DSTLRY series Somna and Blasfamous, as well as debut short story collection The Devil’s Cut. Not only will the winners get the original, hand-drawn artwork, but also a 1-of-1 twin digital collectible at dstlry.co.

Anyone can complete the survey. Giveaway terms & conditions can be found here.

For fans to receive a chance to win one of these spectacular pieces, they need to go to the survey link, answer a few questions, and submit their contact information. One submission makes one fan eligible for one piece of art. The link will remain active until January 31, 2024; the winners will later be notified via email.

Tula Lotay and Becky Cloonan each provide illustrations from the horrific world of Somna, the pair’s erotic folk-horror series whose second issue releases on January 31. Mirka Andolfo’s contribution stars the diabolical agent Levi from Blasfamous, her upcoming horror-comedy about pop star deities and their infernal management, debuting February 21. Finally, Joëlle Jones’ portrait features the star-crossed mortician of “What’s Mine Is Hearse,” her entry with writer Stephanie Phillips from DSTLRY’s premiere short story collection The Devil’s Cut.

All of these characters can also be found in The Devil’s Cut, an 88-page, premium format one-shot which sold out at the distributor level the week of release—though some remaining physical copies of The Devil’s Cut were recently found in the DSTLRY vault and purchased at dstlry.co.

DC Wants to Hear from Us With a New Survey

DC Entertainment sent out a survey through email, and some of the questions were rather interesting. In an email with a subject of “We Want to Hear From You,” the below was found inside.

We’re excited to invite you to participate in our short survey. Your opinion allows us to deliver all of the great content you expect from DC Entertainment. As our thanks, please enjoy a gift from us!

For completion of the survey, folks were allowed to choose one of three rewards (hint, don’t go for the free comic download).

There were the usual questions about age, gender, and technology use, but these are the two I found interesting.

The publisher seems to want to know what we’re looking for in characters…. hrm…. Hopefully this one will go better than the last.

DC Launches New Nielsen Survey

DC Comics is looking to learn more about comic book readers and has launched it’s second survey through Nielsen.  This is the second time they’ve done so, the first being a bit after the launch of the new 52.

After some demographic questions, the survey dives into the new 52 and purchasing habits of individuals including a person bought, how they bought (print or digital) and a bit if they bought any issues after the first.

There’s a lot of focus on digital comic books and how people are purchasing them as well as promotion of comic books.  I can’t help but think all these surveys accomplish is how to talk to the current comic book fan universe, instead of how to expand the market.  We’ll see though.

You can take the survey here.
