    Default Cover Contest 24 May to 30 May: Helmets!

    Let's set a little mood...




    The theme of this week's contest is: Helmets and other Protective Headgear
    Not just hats but headgear designed to protect your noggin. That said, feel free to put your own spin on the theme.





    Rules? Where we're going, we need... Rules.

    1) Post One (& ONLY ONE) Cover that fits the theme of this Week's Contest!
    2) Cover must be from a Published Comic Book or Graphic Novel or Collected Volume!
    3) Covers must be Posted before Voting Begins!
    4) Voting Begins 12 AM Tuesday and Runs Until 12 AM Wednesday PDT (3 AM EDT)!
    5) Vote by Posting the name in BOLD of the Poster whose cover best fits the theme or that you simply like the most! A vote need not be in bold, but it does make it easier to Count-The-Votes!
    6) The Winner of the Contest is the Entry with the MOST Votes after the Voting-Period!
    7) It's Okay to Discuss the Covers but if you Think Someone's Entry Doesn't Fit the Theme or Violates the Rules, you Don't need to Argue it in the thread, Simply Don't Vote for It!
    8) Plus: Occasionally Voting will Result in a Tie! The Person Who Started the Thread will do the Counting that Week will Usually call for a TIE-Breaking --Vote from Someone who has Not Yet Voted!
    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.


    Have fun everyone!

    Haha this is what you get when you don't wear a helmet, X-Men!

    Every day is a gift, not a given right.

    I think restorative nostalgia is the number one issue with comic book fans.
    A fine distinction between two types of Nostalgia:

    Reflective Nostalgia allows us to savor our memories but accepts that they are in the past
    Restorative Nostalgia pushes back against the here and now, keeping us stuck trying to relive our glory days.

    I can remember how it started
    I'd follow the firemen
    I'd dreamed of the astronauts
    They looked so happy in their shiny metal headgear
    I knew that inside they were smiling
    Ba da da da da da
    Ba da da da da da
    Ba da da da da da
    Ya dop ba dop ba dop ba dop bop
    My mother feared I was abnormal
    I'd take out the colandar
    And put it on my head
    People are happy when they know that they're protected
    Just let me tell you why I'm smiling
    I've got my helmet on
    Nothing can do me wrong

    Note to Ghost Rider: Where's your helmet?

    I’ll don the mask and wear the cape
    If I am super, how can I wait?
