    We’re getting a late start this year, but better late than never – It’s the 2009 Major Spoilers Costume Contest!  We want you to help us celebrate the upcoming Halloween holiday by having you – yes you – send us pictures of your bad self dressed up as your favorite comic book hero (or villain or side-kick, you get the idea). The best costume will not only be hailed as the Grand Prize Winner in Major Spoilers’ Costume Contest you’ll also win your choice of a superhero wall graphic from Fat Head (www.fathead.com).

    We’ve got a couple of these on the walls of the Major Spoilers HQ, and they turn a boring room into a “super” one.

    Here’s what you have to do:
    Send three to four pictures (different poses/angles) of yourself in your favorite superhero costume (plus one sans costume) to us by October 25, 2008. Make sure you include your name, address, and the character you are supposed to be. The Major Spoilers crew, will narrow the list to five contestants (oh lord, let us have more than five entries), and readers will then vote on their favorite. The winner will then be announced October 31st.

    Send your pictures to contest@majorspoilers.com

    Last year, we had a plethora of entrants. Let’s make this year even better than the last!  Get your entries in early!

      Might try and enter this year.

    2. Matthew Peterson on September 20, 2009 8:53 pm

      My purple pinstripe pants are at the cleaners, or else we’d let Stephen go as the Kingpin.

      • Stephen Schleicher on September 21, 2009 8:47 am

        How’s that Bouncing Boy costume coming along?

        • Navarre on September 21, 2009 9:59 am

          Alright there, “Chuck”, who has to dress as Duo-Damsel?

          • Stephen Schleicher on September 21, 2009 10:12 am

            I nominate you. Make sure you get the hair length correct.

            • Navarre on September 21, 2009 12:37 pm

              Wellll…I have been working out. I wonder if it shows in my girlish figure?

              But who will play the “other” me? Questions-questions.

              Is Victoria eligible to enter this contest?

              • Stephen Schleicher on September 21, 2009 1:02 pm

                As a member of the Major Spoilers family, she is not eligible.

                • Navarre on September 21, 2009 1:06 pm

                  That is good for our sake at least. She could probably win just by showing up. … not that she does much around here. heh

                  But you definitely have an experienced judge on your team. … Too experienced to believe I resemble Duo-Damsel. Ha!

                  • Navarre on September 21, 2009 1:20 pm

                    I meant Victoria doesn’t show up as often here, not that she doesn’t *do* anything. That last post read weird to me.

                    … where’s the Edit button on this thing?? lol

    3. Dan Hunter on September 21, 2009 7:45 pm

      I might give this a go. Shameless self promotion on my behalf rocks!

    4. The_Julian on September 21, 2009 8:59 pm

      If Victoria was eligible for this contest, then we’d all lose and win at the same time. ;)

      considering how insane some of the contests get in this contests, I’d be lucky if I get anywhere near the so-so costumes. But I’m entering anyway for S&G’s

      • Matthew Peterson on September 21, 2009 10:52 pm

        Hmmm…

        I think I’d rather do Matter-Eater Lad circa Adventure 360, where he was sidelined after eating his way out of the Starlag.

        Look it up. :)

    5. xrayguy on September 25, 2009 10:33 am

      Carefull with that “photo sans costume” directive- might get more than you want from that.

    6. Robin on September 27, 2009 6:32 pm

      what is a sans costume?

      • Matthew Peterson on September 27, 2009 10:12 pm

        “Sans” from the French, without.

        He means a picture of you in street clothes along with your costumed awesomeness.

    7. Navarre on September 28, 2009 3:45 pm

      Thanks for the reminder. I hope you are getting some great entries.

    8. Dan Hunter on September 30, 2009 1:00 am

      Entry in, now we wait….

    9. Robin on October 6, 2009 9:15 pm

      do we only get one entry

    10. Stephen Schleicher on October 6, 2009 11:59 pm

      You can enter as many times as you like

    11. John Morales AKA uglyhooker on October 12, 2009 2:40 pm

      I will be entering and my HORRIBLENESS will be put to the test!!! hint hint!!

    12. paulv70 on October 15, 2009 7:16 pm

      Just submitted my entries!

    13. Batman 74 on October 20, 2009 1:08 pm

      I just submitted my entries, hope u like them

      • Stephen Schleicher on October 20, 2009 1:31 pm

        Received! They look great!

    14. Dan Hunter on October 22, 2009 5:47 pm

      I’d be interested in seeing all the entries once the contest is over, if only to do the standard Intardweb posting of “Person X was robbed!!! :-P

      • Stephen Schleicher on October 23, 2009 8:06 am

        I’ll post all the entrants on the 26th
