SOD.065 – Superwoman

I got a little carried away with the Sketch of the Day this time around, as you can see:

065-31

Cory Walker has been doing a new Supergirl redesign every Wednesday as part of his "Sketch of the Day" series, which is probably where I got the impetus to do this one. Originally it was supposed to just be a regular quick black and white sketch like the others, but I just couldn't leave it alone until I finally settled on what you see.

Olympian Games – Target Shooting

The ability to blow up stuff at a distance is key for most super-powered comics characters, and the mighty beings in charge of the multi-dimensional Olympian Games would surely not leave the testing of such a skill off the event roster. And so we now ask you to consider the following (vote for three):

I don't want to prejudice the voting, but you by all means should do so in the comments. Make the case for your choices and bend the will of other readers to your own! Feel the POWER of the dark side!

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.

SOD.062 – Wonder Dog vs. Rex the Wonder Dog

062

The only thing he'd be Wondering is where his throat went after Rex rips it out. Because he's Rex The Mother-F***ing Wonder Dog, that's why.
