If you were doomed to survive the apocalypse --which of the following characters would you be? Tell us for an entry into our raffle. Contest open to U.S./Canada shipping addresses; closes on March 31 (midnight pacific time).

Stuck in a mind-numbing job, Vivian Gray can feel her underutilized brain shriveling faster than the Spice Girls' record sales. Gifted with a high IQ and a sharp sense of reason, the only thing holding Vivian back is her own paralyzing apathy.

Nick Aspen is the poster boy for... well, for anything. A professional model specializing in on-site product promotion, he may be hawking chocolate cupcakes one day and diet pills the next. Nick isn't just a pretty boy out of vanity. It's his job.

Verman Boltzmann is the manager of the local grocery store. Incompetent, chauvinistic, and drunk with power, "the Vermanator" is a portrait of a high school football star twenty years later. Verman believes that the customer is always right, even when all available evidence points to the contrary.

Bobby Gray is Vivian's twin brother, though he definitely received the short end of the genetic stick. Obsessive about new technology, he litters his world with bleeding edge electronics while he waits anxiously for the next big thing to come along. As an unemployed web programmer, Bobby has been freeloading at his sister's place, but soon the fizzling of the dot-com economy will become the least of his troubles.

Sunny Sasaki is the kind of bartender who seems to know everybody on the continent on a first name basis. After failing out of nursing school, she realized that the universal cure came not from a pharmacy, but from a cocktail shaker. With the body of a goddess and the charm of the girl next door, Sunny is out of your league, no matter what league you're in.

Erik Sievert is a man with a past. Or rather, a man in the past. As the consummate retro-geek, he shuns all pop culture that has transpired since the end of the 1980s. Working as a clerk at a dusty old collectables shop allows Erik to live in the state where he is the most comfortable. Denial.

Sherri Becquerel is one of a kind, and if you tell her otherwise you'll be collecting your teeth from the sidewalk. Rarely seen without a malt liquor in one hand and a cigarette in the other, she has a self-destructive streak that rivals that of Evel Knievel. Anti-establishment and belligerently individualistic, Sherri is, to put it lightly, difficult to get along with.

((note--not all of them survive the apocalypse))

only US/canada entries? Ouch! I really wanted this one. I'll post my preference anyway.
I'd probably be a male Vivian Gray, but the likes of Susan and Sherry are the ones sure to have fun. Gender aside, I'd go for Sherry-in-the-apocalypse, a ton-sur-ton character bound to happen in a total destruction scenario near you.

Prolly Sherri, although my wife might be concerned that I am now a woman.

To be fair, I would mostly likely rather be myself. I know what it takes to get the job done.

I do, after all fight zombies on a regular basis.

By a process of elimination I would have to be Vivian (although I could be a female Erik)

I would be most like Vivian Gray although none of them are very close to being like me.

I'd most likely be like Vivian.

I would have to say: Bobby

Just looking at my interests and his, they seem somewhat the same. ha :P

I would be Erik Sievert he seems so interesting. I love that he's into collectables!

I would have to be Erik Sievert; he as an 80's expert would have a vast knowledge of useless, but some very useful trivia that the others wouldn't know....

and

he just sounds like me in a male body!! haha

I can't really relate to any of these, but I'd WANT to be Nick Aspen. He probably dies, but I'm sure the world isn't that great a place after Doomsday, and you might as well make a pretty corpse!

vivian sounds like me, i don't have her iq, but i do have "paralyzing apathy"

I guess I'll go with Nick Aspen although an iq

This book sounds like so much fun. I would be Sherri Becquerel. I am nothing like her but she sounds like a fun character.

I would be Vivian Gray. Cool characters.

I'd be Sunny Sasaki. She knows who she is and probably knows how to take care of herself.

If Erik and Sherri had a baby, that would be my character.
Hell, I'm still trying to get the dough to download a GUD issue. Maybe I can steal a copy of this book...

I would be Vivian Gray. great characters

I need to be Eric Sievert.

Bobby Grey; technology is sweet!

Vivian, I'm kind of "that" geek!

I would be most like Vivian Gray. We sound a lot alike.

A cross between Sunny Sasaki and Bobby Gray... book sounds interesting!

I'm going with Sunny Sasaki

I would be Erik probably. This book sounds like a hoot.

Eric Sievert is me.

i'd be Sunny Sasaki, cuz i've always wanted to be a bartender!

Erik for sure

i really like Sherri Becquerel she sounds like a bad-ass!

I think I'd be Vivian.

Vivian would be the closest.

I'm one of the Gray triplets (they didn't tell you there were three of us) with Vivian's IQ and numbing apathy, and Bobby's techno-obsessive approach (although I'm more likely to be out there making "the next big thing" happen, actually)...

Have to go back up-thread and double-check -- hope you have more than one of these books, 'cause one of 'em should be MINE! And many thx!

I think I'd be Vivian.

I'd be a cross between Vivian Gray, her brother and Sunny Sasaki.
There's a little of me in all 3.
