 * The podcast Comic Geek Speak is hosting a contest called “X-Ray Vision.” The hosts of the show are looking for a hero who is new and personal, someone who is easy to relate to. They want artists to consider their lives as the launching point for the creation of their hero. CGS is tired of the big-name stars and their cliché storylines; they want a hero rooted in things that appeal to a modern, intelligent audience. In the contest, artists can submit a hero of their design for consideration by CGS. In the “X-Ray Vision” contests, participants will have their work judged on the hero’s story and symbol, creativity, and the character’s marketing ability. The CGS hosts expect more than one hundred entries in their contest, and the winner will be awarded a contract with DC Comics and a spot on CGS’s next podcast interview. ||
