I received the following message from Carlos Weiser via ‘The Armageddon Chronicles’ Facebook group: “We did it! We won the Comic Book Challenge!
We want to thank all of you because we know it was thanks to all your help and support that we were able to make it to the first place… thanks for the time, the patience and the encouraging words… it payed back!
Now we can put our mice down, stop typing and finally get some well deserved rest…
Thanks once again!
Carlos and Gaby”

Congratulations Carlos. I am very proud of you and Gaby and all that you have accomplished.

Carlos Weiser is in the Top 3 of Platinum Studios Comic Book Challenge. I am really proud of him and was wondering if you wouldn’t mind 1) voting for him again on their website and 2) spreading the word about it on forums and websites.

I received this message from him:

“As you’ve probably already heard by now we made the Top 3 in the Comic Book Challenge!!!
I’m very excited and thrilled about it. The response I’ve been getting from everyone has been nothing short of amazing and we feel touched by all the support and help everyone has been so kind to offer to us.

DC, I’m asking for help one more time to help us spread the word that we are one of the Top 3 finalists and that we need votes to win this competition and see The Armageddon Chronicles get published. Voting is done in the same way it was done for the Top 10. Anyone can vote as many times as they want, everyday, until September 7.
Here’s the link that will take you straight to my entry:

I am once again joined by Damian and Brian from Kryptographik in taking a look at Black Summer issues 2 and 3, created by Warren Ellis and Juan Jose Ryp, published by Avatar Press. We also talk about collecting multiple covers, separating cinematic storytelling from movie pitch comics, realistic body types in comics and why big breasted women aren’t necessarily unbelievable.
