Ok, this is little over due but we have a winner of limited edition Batman action figure from Graphitti Designs! And the winner is Nayr aka Flip19 aka Ryan. Sorry Dooks! He should be receiving his action figure shortly. Batman is not just an action figure but a fictional role model so remember that next time you are walking by an old lady who’s getting mugged. Run like hell and make sure your action figure doesn’t get stolen.
In the other news, our friend Phil Chan who we recently interviewed at Wizard World Chicago is in the running for a contest called Comic Book Challenge. Comic Book Challenge is like an American Idol for dorks Comics. We kid we kid Phil. Anyways, he’s the only Asian artist ever to place in top 10 ever since competition started in 2006 and he can use some help. Just follow this link and go show him some love. I’m sure if II stix was in the running for site of the year, he’d do same for us.
