Twelve months. Twelve winning redesigns.
Since
Superhero of the Month started, everything thus far has been building up to this. To cap off an amazing year of redesigns, each month's winner is being pitted against one another in a
battle royale showdown to determine who will be the
Superhero of the Year.
For this contest, we have three sponsors,
Dr. Volt's Comics,
Scott's Comics, and
Big Shiny Robot!, and is being presented in conjunction with
Girls Read Comics, Too.
Judging criteria is a little different this time around. Imagine you don't pick up a comic for ten years. What could happen? I
don't know...after 70 years in a wheelchair, Marvel decides Professor X
can walk again or something. (Crazy, right?! Right...?) During this
time, there's no
Previews, no IGN -- nothing to tie you into the
world of comics for a decade. After your imposed hiatus, you decide to
check them out again. You walk into a comic book store, and the
redesigns that have won are the costumes that greet you.
The point of a redesign is to make the character recognizable, even
though they're wearing something different. With that in mind, does
Robin still look like Robin? Does X-23 remind you of the Laura Kinney you know and love?
Using that criteria, we will announce the winner and prizes our sponsors are putting up on November 30, at a time to be determined. In me meantime, stay tuned to
Superhero of the Month for redesigns we've had sent in. Feel free to
send us any redesigns you've done; we'll be posting them between now and November 30!
Check out the fill post for a review of our twelve winning redesigns!
