Our ‘Thor: The Mighty Avenger’ Tribute Contest Winner
On Friday we announced a Thor: The Mighty Avenger tribute contest to pay homage to the recently canceled series, and we're pleased to announce the winner, Jessica Vizzone (who should e-mail us!), whose original two-page comic about finding Thor: TMA just in time to lose it forever may ring true with many others. "I too have felt the cancellation depression hit me like a stack of bricks in my heart," said Jessica, "so I shall gladly show you my metaphorical depiction of my pain through the use of crappy art work and melodrama." Click through for a bigger version, and see the rest of the comic -- and some of our other favorites entries -- after the jump.
Mickey Rossi treated us to original art that was inspired by his daughter: "I have a daughter named Mia whose favorite Squaddies are Hulk and Thor. She's already starting to grow out of Super Hero Squad, and all ages titles like Thor: TMA are a good segue until she's old enough for the mainstream titles. It's not just about this title getting canceled. It's about supporting all ages titles in general. It's about cultivating the next generation of comic book readers."
