Contest 5 Winner Gallery

As promised, a gallery of the suggestions for better (or at least different!) card art from our Contest #5 winners and runners-up!


Runners-Up



Andy Merril suggested this dynamic picture for Ant-Man:

Colin Middleton suggested the cover of Thor: God of Thunder #1 (seen below) for Thor's card.

Jeff suggested this wonderful image of Kitty Pride phasing through Iron Man in one of the earlier comics.

Lars Emil Larsen was one of our many Angel unfans, though they didn't suggest a specific picture for replacement.

Winners


Joe Pilz gave us this striking image of Hawkeye.

Craig Marshall suggested this X-Men Evolution Angel to replace the Liefeld one.

Chris Bedford suggested that this is what Kitty Pride's card should look like.

Ernie Darby did not suggest an image, but did give us a lovely parody of a poem for me to butcher on-air.  For the curious, here it is below!

A Play on How do I love Thee? (Sonnet 43) Elizabeth Barrett Browning

O Card Art, O Card Art-

How do I know thee? Let me see the ways.
I do not know thee from the comics nor lore
My soul cannot handle that bore.
For the representation you have
come to me from the likes of Michael Bay's,
movies that is - thankfully not ones of his sore.
Scenes of Andrew Garfield I do want more,
as I look at the screen and just gaze.
I know thee from Evans, and Renner too,
if only their likeness graced the cards,
but it doesn't and to that I say boo.
But I still love thee as I roll the dice,
Smiles, tears, of all my life, and if it is true,
I shall love thee better without any spice.
