Okay, in the absence of the winner, I've been asked to post this week's contest. So it seems there's really only one theme that's appropriate--
SUBSTITUTES!
A cover where someone's stepping in for the usual lead character.
The Rules:
Post one (and only one) cover that fits the theme of this week's contest.
Cover must be from a published comic book or collected volume.
If you don't think a particular cover fits the theme, just don't vote for it. No need to argue it out in the thread.
Covers must be posted before voting begins.
Voting begins 12 AM Tuesday and runs until 12 AM Wednesday PST.
Vote by posting the name in bold of the poster whose cover best fits the theme or that you simply like the most.
The winner of the contest is the entrant with the most votes after the voting period.
Have fun!
