So if anyone checked into my Twitter feed the last few days (or the updated Utopian blog today), you may be aware that I was struck down by some sort of evil stomach bug upon my return from Santa Barbara this weekend. Which has put me behind by a few days. This timing is pretty terrible, not the least of which is because Chris Sims, he of the Invincible Super-Blog, put out the challenge for his annual “30 Second Recap Contest” last week, and the due date is today.
Between my mini-vacation and my stomach-churning ailment, I was not able to create my epic retelling of a godlike entity’s arrival on Earth to seek the source of desire and blah blah blah. So instead, I have been forced to boil down the essence of Marvel Comics’ classic 1980s maxi-series Secret Wars II into one panel, one single image that distills the epic themes so well-represented by Jim Shooter’s nine-issue visionary masterpiece:
Yep.
So, sorry Chris, I know it’s not the outstanding piece of workmanship that earned notice last year as an Honorable Mention. But it’s the best I could do, given the circumstances.
Yep.
You magnificent bastard.
It’s the Beyonder’s magnificent Jheri Curl. It’s hard to deny.
Loved your Nick Fury piece. If it doesn’t at least earn awesome notices by Sims, then he’s a damn fool. I mean, fool-er than usual.
is this updated often?
