Mark Millar wants to name Nemesis after you

In 2008, Mark Millar made comic-book history when he offered fans a chance to be the superhero, Kick-Ass! Last week, Mark Millar again gave fans the opportunity to be the hero of his upcoming new series, “Nemesis,” drawn by best-selling artist Steve McNiven.  “Nemesis” is about the fight between America’s smartest cop and the world’s one and only super-villain.

Now that America’s smartest cop has a name, Dynamic Forces will once again host an auction for “Nemesis,” but this time the winner’s name will be used as the secret identity of the villainous Nemesis!  And again all proceeds raised from this once-in-a-lifetime event will go directly into a special fund that will assist handicapped children.

Who’s going to be in The Anchor?

Mario Baldessari, that’s who.  The Boom! Studios/Westfield Comics competition drew Mario’s name from those who entered for a chance to appear in an upcoming issue of The Anchor.

“We received some really great entries for the contest,” says Westfield’s Roger Ash. “What made Mario’s stand out for me is that it was fun and demonstrated knowledge of THE ANCHOR. Congratulations Mario!”
