It's a Wardrobe War!!!Gail Simone, the folks at Project Rooftop, and Zeus Comics have announced the winners in the Wonder Woman Wardrobe War – a contest for fans to provide their creative spin on the Amazon’s costume. Seventy-nine entries were received, some of which can be seen over at the Project Rooftop site. Others will be available at the Zeus site later this week.

Of the contest, Simone said:

“Wow! I honestly had no idea the responses were going to be this amazing. I’m astounded not only by the designs and imagination, but quite a few of these are produced so beautifully that I’d love to see more work by these individual artists. Heck, some I would love to have on my wall, in fact! Great, great work. I had to ask the Zeus guys, ‘Hey, are these people all professionals already?” Just great stuff. Made my week.’”

I recently went to Wizard World Texas and picked up lots of comics. I love cons and warehouse sales for the chance to pick up titles at bargain bin prices that I might not otherwise read. The All New Atom is one of those titles.

I spent the weekend reading through, so far, the first eleven issues of ANA.

Passing on the Geek

Listening to the post Thanksgiving episode of the iFanboy podcast last night, I was amused by a topic the guys discussed: Naming your child after a comic character. They made the point that you have to be subtle. Naming your kid “Peter” is okay, but you might want to avoid “Peter Parker Johnson.”

This got me wandering down memory lane…
