Thanks to everyone who entered and congratulations again to Tim.

Character Contest 30 – Gadgeteer Winner

We had a lot of really great entries for Character Contest 30, which made judging quite difficult.

First, I wanted to highlight the submissions I thought had some element that went above and beyond the usual level, something that made me want to call them out as an Honorable Mention, although overall they weren't Finalists that I considered making the overall winner for one reason or another.

I have to admit, this is the one I'd have chosen, too, I laughed out loud when I read it the first time. Congratulations to Danny, who wins his choice of either any item he likes, or a portrait of himself, to appear in the final HeroMachine 3 version.

Thanks again to everyone who entered and especially to all our Finalists!

Thanks to all who entered and congratulations both to Spidercow2010 and all the Finalists!

Character Contest 28 Winner

Congratulations to Kaldath for winning Character Contest 28 with his unusually-posed "Spider-Cat", daughter of Spider-Man and Black Cat:

We're at the point of needing to rename this the Kaldath Award, I think. Congratulations to him and to all the great entrants for that contest, it was some really nice work.

Olympian Games Swimming Results

Thanks to everyone who voiced their opinion in the Olympian Games' Swimming Competition! On behalf of Main Man Hammerknight, I am happy to report the following characters are our winners:

medal-goldGold Medal: Aquaman (DC)
medal-silverSilver Medal: Namor the Sub-Mariner (Marvel)
medal-bronzeBronze Medal: Blue from Hellboy (Dark Horse)

Finally a publisher other than DC or Marvel breaks onto the medal stand! After three events, Marvel and DC are still tied, with four medals apiece, while Dark Horse makes their first move with one.

I am happy for Aquaman since, let's be honest, he doesn't have a lot going for him other than swimming ability. I mean, can you imagine Namor bothering to talk with a flounder or a herring? I think not.

ETA: Forgot the title. Oops.

Congratulations to TopHat, winner of Caption Contest 70 for this entry:
