Well hey, here's my comic entry. Don't mind the first one, it was made in 24 hours before the deadline. Third comic is really what I'm going for if I could get some thoughts on that via PM, it'd be really appreciated.

My comic here: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/content/webcomic/view?id=74465&ix=17

Well, best of luck for the winner! Let's see some more comics! Everyone else, better luck next year when they do this again! (or whenever they do this again, IF they feel like going through all of this again)

Everyone else, keep working at it! This contest really got me to realize I need to work work work more on my stuff!

EDIT: Here's my dA page if anyone wants to contact via there. I'll probably be on that more now that the contest is over. http://toadking07.deviantart.com/

Ahh, nearly on the last page, lol. Oh well. And the logo fecked up as well, dammit.

Damn that's a lot of entries, I wouldn't have wanted to judge them.

Here's my entry if anyone wants to take a gander. Constructive criticism always welcome.

I wrote some decent chars and some good strip ideas, but then proceeded to write a few general strips for the entry that basically didn't include them, lol. Way to go me.

My biggest crit is that you've killed Duke Nukem and made the world a far lesser place for it. I'm not sure I can go on living in a world without the Duke.

No no, the games industry killed Duke Nukem... ;)

It was all about the dead stars of gaming (Hence the "Have you seen Alex" posters on the first page... Alex Kidd btw) and the REAL reasons they disappeared.

But was he dead?
Who gave Noir the photo?
We may never know.

(OK, I know, but unless I expand this it may never be publicly known...)

Well, I passed my review of a few comics here, and i'll critique a few more tomorrow when I'm off. Hope I haven't made too many enemies by then, trying to be as hard a reviewer as can to prepare people for the internet, where people careless about feelings and say worse things without thinking twice.

Anyone feels like turning the heat back on me feel free. Need some help, even if my comic was thrown together in less than a week. Tis no excuse, just got to work harder!

That Army of Two comic from the winner did make me laugh aloud. But my favorite submission that I saw was Manly Men doing Manly Things. I nearly died laughing at the sight of Kratos bashing a guy's face against an HD TV.

3/4 of my comics were submitted sideways. I have never said this before in my life but I feel that now it must be said: Epic fail :(.

Lawks, there *were* a lot of entries, weren't there? This was my one, in case anyone's interested.

http://www.escapistmagazine.com/content/webcomic/view?id=74315&ix=9

It was worth entering just for the pleasure of torturing Rise of the Robots in a Terminator stylee. That game was once described thusly: "The nearest the software industry has yet come to robbing an elderly deaf woman in a wheelchair whose son has just died in a car accident returning from the funeral of his father and sister killed when their ancestral home burned to the ground, and then severely beating her. With the diseased family pet."

That was letting it off lightly.

Wow, I had no idea there would be so many entries! Still, I'm glad they posted them all for us to see.

Anyway, here's mine. [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/content/webcomic/view?id=74417&ix=15] Please feel free to comment and/or criticize.

I guess that answers my question... I'm assuming this thing has been squashed and we'll never see the "winning" comic again.
