Judge Woody from "Super Omega Deathbattle Warzone Apocalypse" announced his second round of Honorable Mentions yesterday on the game's Facebook page. For your convenience I am re-posting them here as well, but for the most up-to-date results you should really follow them on Facebook.

Ladies and gentlemen, your second batch of Honorable Mentions, along with Woody's comments. Congratulations to these folks on jobs well done!

Hawkeye

Frequent contributor Dan suggested that we take a look over the next few weeks at some of the worst moments in Avengers fashion history in honor of the blockbuster movie release. I thought it was a great idea, and where better to begin than the Purple Poltroon, leader of the Worst Dressed Team In Forever (aka the West Coast Avengers), Clint Barton, the one and only Hawkeye!

META: Prizes

With the release of the Steampunk Bracelet, I am now completely caught up on "named" prizes! Well, except for a gun for Gene that's currently in limbo awaiting approval from the original artist.

Here are the people who have won a contest but who have not yet claimed either a specific prize or a "next item up" donation:

HM3: Hoodies

I've just updated the Headgear-Modern set with the following hoodies:

The first is FRM's prize for winning Pop Quiz 5. The other two are from the most excellent dblade, just because he's awesome. Be sure to drop him a "thank you" in the comments!

FRM, I still owe you a second Pop Quiz prize.

HM3: Umbrella

I've just uploaded Dan's prize for winning Caption Contest 120 to the "ItemRight-Miscellaneous" set:

Black Widow vs. The Baroness

Enough with the sci-fi technobabble, people, let's get back to what makes super-hero comics the biggest entertainment force on the planet -- horned up nerds and impossibly-constructed female forms in tight-fitting black leather. That's right, our Versus poll for this week is "Black Widow vs. The Baroness"!

Have at it, fellow geeks! Lay out your case for which of these beautiful but deadly femmes fatale would triumph in an all-out battle.

Enjoy! As usual, if you don't see the new items, clear your browser cache.
