I’m going about, inviting anyone and everyone, to participate in the greatest show in Indy Comics: Small Press Idol 2008. Last year, over 100 teams competed for the chance to be published, and dozens of the top projects have been appearing in Mysterious Visions Anthology. 3 of the other top projects have been picked up by 3rd party publishers, and a couple others are also now with the Dimestore Imprint. This year, we’re upping the ante. With a very small entry free, we’re going to have a CASH PRIZE for the winner, as well as a publishing deal.
Sounds interesting? Anyone who is not currently being published by a “name” company, who is not making a living making comics, is eligible. So if you have a webcomic you’d like to rework a bit into a comic…entering will grab you lots of new eyes on your work. Self published issues haven’t been selling great? Kick it up a notch, and see how it stacks up in the spotlight.
The Guidelines for this year’s contest are here:

If you can pass this message forward to anyone, anywhere, we can blow the lid off this thing!

Thanks for checking out my reviews. I'll be adding the review for the fourth issue of Ant-Man within this week so I hope you enjoy that one!

While I never read Hitman, that annoys me that they wouldn't collect a whole series. Sounds like Justice LEague Elite all over again (my friend is still waiting for volume 2) I'll be glad to sign the petition.

Comics I'm picking up this week:

CIVIL WAR#6, $2.99
IRRIDEEMABLE ANT-MAN#4, $2.99
(getting these two a week late because of the allocations on the west coast. I'm really looking forward to Ant-Man, but my interest in civil has pretty much cooled.)

WELCOME TO TRANQUILITY #2
NIGHTLY NEWS #3 (OF 6) $2.99
AGENTS OF ATLAS #6 (OF 6) $2.99
HELLSTORM SON OF SATAN #4 (OF 5) (MR) $3.99

PUNISHER #43 (MR) $2.99
(If I don't receive my weekly allowance of Garth Ennis I could slip into a coma. I don't know if that's true, but I believe it.)

RUNAWAYS #23 $2.99
(Love this book.)

SQUADRON SUPREME HYPERION VS NIGHTHAWK #1 (OF 4) $2.99
THUNDERBOLTS #110 $2.99

if you're so inclined, feel free to drop a comment about what comics you are buying this week. I'd love to get some dialoge going here.

Thanks for signing. It's been getting about ten sigs a day since I started it, so it should be huge in know time.
