I’ve joined THE LEAGUE OF ARCH VILLAINS and you can to. The L.A.V. is looking for viscious vixens and muscle-bond man-mutants to join our ranks and control the world…nay, the UNIVERSE! If you fit those catagories or if you have a secret formula that can make an army of zombies. You may just have what it takes to be a member of The League of Arch Villans!

(evil laugh goes here)

And The Winner Is! Jorge Vega and Gunplay!

SYS-CON Media has a nice write up.

“This is a dream come true for me!” Vega said. “You only see these things happen to people on TV, and I still can’t believe that Gunplay was selected. Platinum Studios and AT&T have created a tremendous contest that allows aspiring comic creators such as me the opportunity to enter this field, and I’m honored and humbled that hundreds of thousands of people globally in the comic community selected my concept from all of the amazing entries.”
