But with this Get Out Of Bleeding Cool Free card, all this changes.

The bearer of this card gets the chance to remove a story published on Bleeding Cool (which will be replaced by this card) either after it has been published or, if they are aware of it, before. It has a one time use and can be used by publisher or creator alike. And it must be used within a year.

Alternatively, the card can also be used to get INTO Bleeding Cool and will guarantee favorable coverage of a project of your choice.

This item is available on eBay now, and the opening bid is a $500 membership in the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund.
