IRON CHEF STUDIO BATTLE!!!

Get ready kiddies! I know things have been a little slow, but over the next month and a half things are gonna be heating up! That's right our first studio battle! And to make it interesting we're able to line up one of comicdom's hottest studios! Michael Turner's Aspen Studios!!!

Over the years Michael has been known for generating some of the hottest art in comics. Not only is he known for being a constant fan favorite, but is also known for discovering some very bright young talents! So with that we've set up four battles, each of which promise to generate tons of excitement, and introduce maybe for the first time to some of you, some of comics next generation of superstar artists! We will be kicking it all off later today!

Our first battle will be between our very own Alé Garza versus Aspen's Marcus To! Alé's hungry for a win, and Marcus is hungry to make a name for himself, so it should prove to be very exciting! Of course this will all culminate with the two head honcho's going at it! That's right Jim Lee versus Michael Turner! It will be awesome to see two guys of their caliber go at it! So make sure to start posting your suggestions and today's battle will take place at 2:00 pst!

BATTLES:

week 1: Ale Garza vs Marcus To

week 2: Carlos D'anda vs Koi Turnbull

week 3: Richard Friend vs Micah Gunnell

Main Event: Jim Lee vs Michael Turner

How about Aspen Studios drawing any one of their own characters getting their butt kicked by a Wildstorm character, and Wildstorm Studio draw any one of their own characters getting their butt kicked by an Aspen Studio character. Lets see who can make their own characters look like wimps.

I'm all for you taking a break Rich, but come on, you could take Micah in your sleep...just ragging on Micah there...met him in Chicago this past August and he's just maturing by leaps & bounds with every issue of Dying of The Light.

Depending on the subject matter, Carlos vs. Koi is going to be a very interesting battle. Very different styles.

Ale vs. Marcus will be the closest pairing of styles, I think. I've only seen a little of Marcus' work, but it has a very clean, slightly manga style to it. Ale's strength will probably be his versatility...I think my favourite single issue that I've seen is the fill-in issue on Losers. Kinda gritty, but still Ale Garza.

And it goes without saying, Jim vs. Mike...wow. One word...FEMALE character(s). But someone they haven't done or not completely familiar with. That's the challenge...no Supergirl's, Wonder Woman's, Dark Phoenix, Catwoman, etc...nothing popular. But still something that's recognizable and will allow Jim & Mike to do what they do best...draw dynamic, beautiful women.

Really looking forward to seeing this battle.

Oh wow. My heart is torn! It'll be really tough to judge these upcoming battles!

As for a suggestion, hmm...Elektra vs. Beast. A nice beauty and the beast kinda thing...
