Calling All Iron Artists
Project Rooftop is a great blog that hands over comic book characters (usually but not always superheroes) to indie or up and coming artists to redesign as they see fit. More often than not the redesigns are out of this world.
Take for example the nifty Black Widow/Nick Fury combo right HERE. It's a great piece that, while Marvel would probably not use in the main line, would make an excellent Marvel Knights style. You listening, Joe Q.? Let's see a Cold War story featuring these two with Daniel Krall on art.
Project Rooftop's hosting a contest (it's second) where you can submit concepts for a redesign of Iron Man. Westfield Comics in the great state of Wisconsin (and definitely not Connecticut)is providing the swag for the winners (including an amazing statue of the Golden Avenger) so there's no reason not to enter.
Head over to Project Rooftop's Invincible Upgrade or hit the jump for the official round-up of details on how and where to enter.
The deadline for submission is March 31st, so get in gear!

"Westfield Comics in Connecticut is providing the swag for the winners.. "
It's actually Westfield comics in Middleton, Wisconsin. I know because I work for them. ;)
Yikes!
So sorry about that. Off I go to correct my egregious error.
For anyone reading this after the fact, no mistake was ever made. I swear!
