In This Month’s Zuda Comics Competition, Hypergeek Endorses The Hammer

Zuda Comics is a web imprint of DC comics. Every month they hold a competition where creators are invited to submit an eight page strip, to be voted on by readers of the website. At the end of the competition period, the comic which wins the popular vote becomes a new ongoing series, and the creators are given a contract with DC comics.

This month there are several great entries into the competition, all by wonderfully talented writers and artists. However, if I had to pick a favourite, and I actually did have to, I would pick The Hammer. The offical blurb for The Hammer says:

Calvin School’s family saw something they shouldn’t have. Bones Charlie sent his dogs to clean up the mess. But School is a mess that don’t clean easy. When he catches up with Bones Charlie, we’ll see just why they call him…The Hammer.

The comic has a giant pink bunny, with the attitude of Marv from Sin City, who runs around beating the shit out of mobsters, with a base-ball bat. How can you not love that?!

I am endorsing The Hammer in this month’s competition, and I urge you to follow this link, and vote on the comic to win. The Hammer is currently at #1 in the rankings, but it is almost neck and neck with the #2 strip, Azz’s Inferno. Azz’s Inferno is also a nice strip, but it just didn’t have the kick that The Hammer had. It was a little overly wordy and cluttered for the eight page format I think, but it was still really good.

Anyway, pick whichever you prefer, but you better get over there fast, because the competition will close at noon on February 28th!
