Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. The wait is finally over… I’m sure you’ll find it extremely anti-climactic, but maybe now Krack will get off my everlovin’ back and give me some peace in the talkbacks…

The SUPERMAN RETURNS Weta Collectibles contest has ended, with Bill Martin as the winner. I picked him last week and being on top of things like they usually are, Weta already got him his prize. This is what he won:

I’ve said before, but I didn’t get one entry that was exactly what I wanted. The winner is the closest. I have a little trouble understanding exactly what is going on in the multiple panels he sent, but I love that he told a story and the way he colored it was extremely nostalgic for me, reminding me of the colors and style of the early/mid ‘80s DC books.

Although I am extremely fond of the artistry of the below two, I preferred having a multi-page continual story. These are the two runners up, by David Pielich and Robert Hodges respectively.

Good work guys. Sorry it took me so long to finally pull everything together. Thanks to all who entered, thanks to Weta for being so cool through all this and most of all thanks to you guys for sticking with me on this. The Spidey Contest is over now and I’m going through every entry one final time, but I think I already have my top 2 picked out… It’ll now just be a debate about which of those two gets the mini-busts. Expect to have the results of that soon… ish. heh
