It's time for a good old-fashioned Marvel-vs-DC showdown, folks!
Both are bouncy, martial-artist types, more used to shadows and skullduggery than outright bad-assitude. Spider-Man would win in feats of strength, because come on, what's Dick Grayson got, the proportional strength of a robin? Please.
Nightwing has the edge in actual martial arts training, though. You don't study under the GD Batman for that many years without getting pretty darn good.
Both can invent clever gadgets to help in the fight, and both have plenty of real-world experience mixing it up hand-to-hand.
Spidey has the enormous advantage of his Spider-Sense, though if it happens in a karaoke bar, you'd have to think Nightwing's Robin's Song would come in handy. If only that existed, right?
At the end of the day, though, I have to go with costume design, and on that score, Nightwing wins. I always dug the cool black and dark blue motif. Had he kept the doofy ponytail, I'd dock points, but he seems to have come to his follicle senses in time and gone clean.
But that's just me, who would you choose?

We had a huge response for Character Design Contest 93, which asked you to choose someone to redesign from the archive of Public Domain Comic Book Characters. Do yourself a favor and go through the whole set of entries in the comments to see some really great designs.
I've chosen the top 15% of all the submissions for you to enjoy that I thought had something extra special about them. So without further ado, ladies and gentlemen, I present your Finalists!

Your challenge this week is to come up with the best replacement dialog for this comics panel (which comes to us courtesy of the always awesome Glenn3's "Say What?" PhotoBucket site):
The best entry (as judged by yours truly) wins the author's choice of either any item they like or any portrait to be included in HeroMachine 3′s final release, or a custom black and white “Sketch of the Day” style illustration (you pick the subject, I draw it however I like).
All entries must be left as a comment (or comments) to this post. Keep ‘em clean (appropriate for a late-night broadcast TV show), but most importantly, keep ‘em funny!
No limit to entries, but please, self-edit and only put up ones you genuinely think are good!

Thanks to all who entered our Jewelry Pop Quiz! Here they all are in one easy to browse place:
Obviously there are some great entries here, though some I don't really think of as "jewelry". Since I can pick only a single winner, however, I am going with one that I thought best combined creativity, beauty, and elegance. Namely, Vampyrist!
Well done! Thanks again to everyone who entered and congratulations to Vampyrist.

Happy Saturday, folks! Your one-day quick-fire challenge is inspired by my buddy Dave, who makes really cool real-world jewelry from recycled comic book panels. Thus, your mission today is:
You only get one entry -- that's right, just one! So make it your best. Most of the other rules are the same as for a regular contest, but instead of a whole week I'll announce the winner either tonight or tomorrow morning. No elaborate backgrounds or characters, all I want is the piece of jewelry. If you need to include a body part to illustrate its position, that's ok, but the star of the illustration must be the item itself, not whatever it's on.
The winner will receive their choice of either one item or one portrait to be included in the final HeroMachine 3 release, or one Sketch of the Day style drawing where you pick the subject and I draw it how I like.
Good luck!
