For this Week's Contest I wanted to do a theme that I love. The Big Reveal. A hero being unmasked, a villain being revealed as the mastermind behind the plot all of it. I just love it and how big of a deal they used to make it.
This theme can cover many things. A cover where a bad guy unmasks the hero, or the hero unmasks themselves, or even if no one is being unmaksed on the cover as long as they make reference to the hero or big bad being unmasked or revealed it will all work.
One more thing. this does not just mean the villain of the month being unmaksed at the end of their first appearance. I mean more of a multi issue (2 or more story) where an unknown bad guy is behind some comic book zaniness and is then revealed or a super villian who has shown up many issues over the run but was never unmasked or revealed until many issues later. IE Doc Ock as The Master Planner or Green Goblin.
Here is a cover from one of my favorite comics of all.
119700

9) AFTER the Tie-Breaker Vote, Voting Ends and the Winner is Declared by The One Who Started the Thread (or assigned surrogate) and Thus will do the Counting.
10) HAVE FUN!

Does a "not a trick!" reveal that later on gets awkwardly retconned count?
What do you think, Ned?

It’s very… specific, babyblob.
Who better than Spider-man for masks…

There came a time when the Old Gods died! The Brave died with the Cunning! The Noble perished locked in battle with unleashed Evil! It was the last day for them! An ancient era was passing in fiery holocaust!
