I want girls, girls, girls

The winner of the Shadowline "Who Wants to Create a Superheroine" contest has been announced, and while the concept itself is actually quite cute, the best part is that heroine Journey Dominguez, "a normal teenage girl", is a glossy 20-something pin-up vixen with cha-chas nearly the size of her head. Yeah, that's pretty much artist Franchesco's default style, but still. Glad to see Shadowline has really gone for something... um... unique. With any luck, contest winning author Tom Arguello will have the heart to put Journey on the upper side of the 17-year divide so readers can savor her shapely body and come-hither eyes with all of the taste, none of the guilt.



Kinda makes a person nostalgic for the early, not-hot days of Kitty Pryde and Jubilee, though. Check out the rest of the top entries for a good laugh and a head scratch.
