Best of GR 2010 Final Vote IT'S OVER!

[MattAY]

I have one question Bret, who the hell is Hawkman?

....am I being a complete comic rookie asking that?

 

[Bretimus_v2]

Yes, yes, you are. But I'm not, nor never have claimed to be, cool/lame enough to work at a comic book store so...

He's been around since Golden Age. He has artificial weeks that let him fly, super-strentgh and senses (depending on the Age), communicate with birds (depending on the Age) and he likes to use old school melee weapons like his mace. He's never been a front-line hero for DC and was just kind of tacked on to the JLA/JSA. That's my two cents and knowledge.

The story on the banner is that my wife found these vintage style character posters and we're going to re-create them on canvas to decorate our boys' room. I saw the files up on Photoshop and asked my wife to show me the ropes on making a decent looking image. The letters are the font from Red Dead Redemption.

 

[used44]

I want those poster files.

 

[Bretimus_v2]

Here you go. Flicker-Pow
His site.
These are actually my personal favorites, but the images need to be big to enjoy them.

Haha...Robin

Flash

And this for kicks and giggles.

Apparently from what the wife told me, the designs were purchased and he couldn't sell prints anyway without some copyright issues (duh).

 

[MattAY]

Ah cool. I'm learnd-ing

Robin is the coolest poster. I want that in my game room.

 

[used44]

Yeah, Hawkman is pretty cool. The plot between he and Hawkgirl is one if the more touching romances in comics.

It's funny that I'm nominated for best avatar since I've been meaning to change it for months now but just keep forgetting to do it.

I should do it now... but I have to vote first, God damnit.

 

[Longo_2_guns]

Just an FYI for those who haven't gotten their votes in, you have about a week.

 

[UrbanMasque]

Just an FYI for those who haven't gotten their votes in, you have about a week.

FYI, I will never vote as long as you're doing the counting.
..rigged...

 

[Longo_2_guns]

Oh, you're just mad because no one voted for you.

I'd never do this illegitimately. And that's a fact.

 

[HK-47]

I'll do some last minute voting, even though I only got one nomination again.

 

[LinksOcarina]

Fuck I need to vote...do so now....

 

[Bretimus_v2]

We should've made an Unsung Hero Award for all the people who didn't get nominated for anything.

 

[HK-47]

I second that, would be a great addition for next year, or this year.

 

[Longo_2_guns]

Yes, awards for all of the forgotten people. Like, uh... um...

 

[HK-47]

For all the nobodies; the ones no one sings about, the ones bards never talk about, the ones that will have an unmarked grave.

 

[used44]

That doesn't make any fucking sense. Yeah, let's nominate people who weren't nominated. Derp.

 

[Bretimus_v2]

Jeez, guys it's not hard to understand. It's like the participant award they give to fat kids on elementary school track and field days.

 

[schimmel]

So I haven't checked this since the nominations but why am I up for most annoying poster??

 

[MattAY]

Dunno, check the noms to see who nommed you.

And no consolation prizes for the GR Awards. Can only say - unlucky slim, post more.
