Comic Book Idol 2 is gearing up to start next month. I know quite a few people who hang around here (Dean, Drake, Frog Kid to name a few) who had better have their portfolios ready and enter this year's competition.

For a recap of last year, what Comic Book Idol is and other info, head on over to CBR.

And there had better be a representative of Legion World in the competition. The winner gets flown out to the Con in San Diego.

Hmm. I'm in half a mind whether to submit or not. It is a *great* opportunity, and could be great fun (last year's certainly was) but... I'm just not sure I have the time to spare. I don't have great access to a scanner either, but... Hmm, I shall consider...

Wouldn't Liefeld be more aking to Whitney Houston hosting? Or would that be Alan Moore? [Big Grin]

Who would be Randy then?

Hmmm. How about Erik Larsen? Or Todd McFarlane?

Larsen, definitely. He's got the same kinda pudgy, dopey look, but has a comparable acumen for the biz that Randy has for music. [Smile]

And if we're gonna mirror AI exactly, I'd probably put Louise Simonson in Paula's chair, or maybe Barbara Kesel.

What? Gail doesn't rate? [Big Grin]

And I was thinking the same thing about Larsen. He seemed to match Randy, to me.

Hey, why don't we do our own Comic Book Idol? We can't offer the publishing prizes that CBR is but I could come up with something. And we choose three judges to rate them but its the voting public who makes the choices.

We could put up a poll every week and give the board 2 days to vote who goes on to the next round.

Think we have enough aspiring artists here? And it wouldn't have to be limited to pen/pencil/ink artists. Good old manipers like MEL could play along too.

The ladies I picked for a comic version of Paula, I was thinking someone who was ONCE "hot", but has disappeared from the scene. So Weezie's my first choice. She had great runs on Power Pack and New Mutants before being forced out by teh new, "hot" young things and styles-- Liefeld on X-Force ring a bell?

She's probably a REALLY good analog for Paula, come to think of it...!
