Wala bang Pinoy dito sa... Well, the brainchild / host / promoter of this contest is Filipino-Canadian J.Torres . "Comic Book Idol (CBI) is an amateur art competition sponsored by Comic Book Resources (CBR) and participating advertisers. It's a five-week, five-round contest in which contestants will be asked to complete an art assignment each week by a deadline. A panel of comic book professionals comment on the artists' work in each round. Fans determine which contestants move on to subsequent rounds by voting in a weekly poll. And all of this action takes place in a specially designated moderated forum." Check it out and vote!

:-) ANDREW ARNOLD REVIEWS MCSWEENEY'S #13 "...it makes McSweeney's #13 the finest comic anthology ever put together. Ware's talents as designer and editor have turned McSweeney's issue 13 into a work of extraordinary depth and beauty. It culminates his efforts at moving the public's idea of comic books from consumable juvenilia to museum-worthy artworks that still retain their puerile edge. This will be the standard that future books must meet." Brandie already got me a copy! Thanks! Can't wait to get it! :-)
