Two cowled, other-worldly menaces from the biggest movie (and book) franchises in modern history face off in this week's "Versus". Each have one foot in the material plane and the other firmly planted in something closely resembling Hell. Both give our heroes a run for their money and serve a master of evil. At some point, they've all been mistaken for curtains. So who would win in a fight?
A dementor's main power is to suck the soul from its target, which raises the first question of whether or not Nazgûl even have souls. From the reading I've done, I think they do -- they're still mortals, just with their lives stretched far beyond that of normal men by the power of the Ring. There is something for the dementors to eat, therefore.
The Nazgûl have some powerful magic of their own, of course, including their own rings of power. Would those have any effect on dementors?
I don't know, that's why I am asking you! Sound off in the comments about which of these evil henchmen would defeat the other in an all-out battle.

Over the weekend, as some of you know, Joe Kubert passed away at 85. He was an artist/writer and at one time, DC's director of publications. Either way, the man was phenomenal. As a way to insure that his legend lives on for a least bait longer, I thought it only fitting that blog, of which I'm proud to be a part, should honor him in our own way. He deserves at least an honorable mention. So, here's to Joe, an artist, a writer, a legend, a teacher, an icon, a husband, and most importantly, a father.
Rest in peace, Joe Kubert (1926-2012), you deserve it.
This post is for anyone who wants to share any memories they have of Mr. Kubert's work or any thought regarding his legacy or impact on the comics and art world in general.

It's time for another new Caption Contest! Your challenge this week is to come up with the best replacement dialog for this comics panel (I'll make the balloon as big as it needs to be since it's so small in the actual production):
I'll pick out some as my personal favorites to highlight in a post next Monday, and then I'll choose one of those to bear the standard as the "Featured Creator of the Week" atop the right tool bar.
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!

We got some kick-ass entries for our last Character Design Challenge, which tasked you with coming up with heroes (or villains) whose costumes were made up of everyday clothing items instead of spandex and capes. Without further ado, here are some of my personal favorites:

Thanks to everyone who entered the last Pop Quiz, which challenged you to come up with a space ship. Here are all of the entries:
As for my personal favorite, I'm going to go with Skybandit. I liked the ship design the most, though the background and the planet I think aren't as successful as they could have been. But it's not a background challenge, it's about the ship, and I thought this one worked great.
Congratulations to Skybandit and thanks to everyone who took the time to play along!

Happy Saturday, folks! Your one-day quick-fire challenge today is to create a spaceship! Think the USS Enterprise, the Death Star, X-Wing Fighters, Martian saucers, huge interstellar gas harvesters, anything at all you can imagine that's designed for travel outside of planetary gravity wells.
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 challenge, but instead of a whole week I'll announce my favorites either tonight or tomorrow morning. Elaborate backgrounds aren't necessary, though if you've got one it's fine.
I'll pick one entry as my personal favorite, which will get to be featured in the side bar to the right for ultimate glory! As a bonus you're allowed to say you won the Internet for a few days.
Good luck!
