Hey there… We’ve got a new stash of pictures for you to download. Dave has put together a new series of avatars for use on forums or as your Gravatar, some banners to use in your signature, and a set of desktop wallpapers in a variety of screen sizes. Head on over to our Downloads page to check ‘em out!

Also, we ask that you please refrain from hotlinking these images. For those of you who don’t know what that means, we’re asking that you not link directly to the images here on the site. Instead, download them to your own computer and host them elsewhere. Thank you kindly.

Anyway… Let us know how you like these!

Wow, Baltimore, who knew? Everybody but me, I guess. The comic con here is simply fantastic, on par with Heroes Con and Emerald City as one of the best mid-to-large all comic shows. Baltimore Comic Con is another great example of a good sized comic book show that doesn’t need celebrity media stars, video games, or movie studios to be energetic and successful. (more…)

Congratulations to the winner of the 38th week of the Comments Contest: thedanofsteel! And also to the winner of the 39th week, Acksiom! That’s right, two weeks worth of winners for the price of one, I’m almost caught up. I’ll be contacting you two about claiming your mini sketches.

I’m sorry to say that the comments contest is coming to a close. At least for now. As you can tell, I’ve been having trouble keeping up. I just don’t have the extra time that it takes to manage the contest and create the artwork. I will be continuing to choose winners for the pages currently posted, through Chapter 4 page 3. I hope that, despite the end of the contest, everybody continues to comment on the pages. We read every comment and really do appreciate all the feedback you guys give us.

Here are sketches for our weeks 36 and 37 winners, Scott King and OhHaiMe. Scott wanted a sketch of a character from Holiday Wars, I chose Bunny. OhHaiMe wanted a picture of the Lone Ranger. Check them out:
