Canary on the Catwalk
Canary on the Catwalk Honorable Mentions are now up at Project Rooftop. I LOVE the first honorable mention by Thomas Branch best of ALL the entries, winners and runners-up and honorable mentions.

Great work all around.

We’ve seen tons of alternate Earths in DC Comics but how about alternate DC Comics existing on an alternate Earth?

Visit DC Comic’s awesome blog The Source for more info and cover images.

Canary on the Catwalk at Project Rooftop

The excellent comic book-related art and design blog “Project Rooftop” recently featured the Black Canary as the target of one of their makeover contests. I love the results though have to say that their second place winner is my massive favorite. Gorgeous work from all participants and the judges’ notes are a lot of fun (though on the #2 winner, I have substantial disagreements over the low-voting judge’s take on Canary’s costume).

In any case, it’s great to see Canary getting attention. I recommend spending some time paging back through the site’s archives; they’ve featured one-off redesigns and full contests on many BoP related characters including Spoiler, Batman, and Robin. I’d love to see them take on Huntress.

Mike, you will be missed [article].  I always loved this picture, especially the look of pure bliss on Jay “Flash” Garrick’s face.

Sins of Youth
(here is the full cover of the issue)

I got to tell him that when I met him at a smaller comic book convention my brother and I attended several years ago, and he also did this sketch of the “Cry Baby” Black Canary from the Sins of Youth crossover series for me.  I hadn’t seen much of his work recently since he’d moved to Marvel, but I always loved his style.
