Just one week left in the Reclaimer Comic Contest! Make sure you get your submissions turned in this week!

Don’t forget about the Reclaimer Comic Contest! I’ve still only received four entries, and there are just 10 days remaining in the contest. So, make sure you get those comics done and turned in by midnight (EDT) on Monday, October 6!
The Reclaimer forums have been busy over the weekend. We’ve got a new Reclaimer fanfic/comic – Arbitration by The Silver Fox, a baby Cortana, a nice Photoshopped space battle image, and more. If you haven’t already, get your free forum registration and hop in on the fun!
To date I’ve had four – just four! – submissions for the Reclaimer Comic Contest! You have two weeks from today to get your submissions completed and turned in to me. I’ve decided that I’m going to set up a gallery section for Reclaimer comics (and probably for other fan-created Reclaimer stuff), so everyone who submits comics to this contest will have a place to display their wares and compare their results. This gallery will not be limited to just this competition, either. All future Reclaimer projects will have a place in this gallery. So keep working on those comics!
The first Reclaimer Comic Contest continues apace. The submissions are trickling in at the moment, but I expect as we get closer to the deadline, the trickle will become more of a Flood.
The prize pool for the contest gets better by the minute. Just this evening, one awesome reader (Amer then00b) offered up 1600 Xbox Live points, and I am adding in a signed print of any comic from the Reclaimer archives. That brings the pot up to one signed Forerunner print from PAX 2008, a hooded Reclaimer sweatshirt (signed by yours truly), 1600 Xbox Live points, and one signed Reclaimer print. Stay tuned for further updates.

The first Reclaimer Comic Contest is well underway, and I’ve already received the first submission! Keep working on those comics. We’ve got some pretty nice schwag up for the offering!
Here it is at long last – the first official Reclaimer contest!
Here’s the deal – y’all are going to have to work for this one a little bit. Start with this image:
Create three more comic pages (not panels) that build from the above image. You can create more than three if you’d like, but you will only be judged on the first three. Entries will be judged on visual layout and quality, storytelling quality, and creativity. If you need a How-To, make sure to take a look at this tutorial for creating a Reclaimer comic.
This is your chance to get involved in the Reclaimer storyline. If you haven’t already, make sure to read back through the Reclaimer archives and get familiar with Viper – then set off running and tell a story about the origins of Viper.
What’s up for grabs? The winning comic will receive an autographed Forerunner image from PAX 2008 (courtesy of Louis Wu over at halo.bungie.org), a hooded Reclaimer sweatshirt signed by the author, 1600 Xbox Live points (contributed by Amer then00b), a signed print from the Reclaimer archives, and a feature spot on the Reclaimer site for your comic.
The contest will be open from today, Sept. 15 through midnight (EDT) Oct. 6. Entries can be submitted either through the contact form here on the site or can be sent directly to reclaimercomic@gmail.com (put “Reclaimer Comic Contest” in the subject line and include your gamertag and/or the name you use to comment in the body of the email).
Anything I missed? Send me a message – and have fun!
Update (16 Sept 2008 0800 EDT): All entries must be built from Halo 3 screenshots. You can submit your entry just as soon as you have it done, and for the purposes of the contest, I will only judge your first submission – so make it a good one. You’re more than welcome to submit more, though, if you’re feeling really creative and ambitious. They just won’t count toward the competition itself.
Update (18 Sept 2008 2111 EDT): Prizes added to the pool of 1600 Xbox Live points and one signed Reclaimer print.
Today’s comic comes with a special treat – the first official Reclaimer contest! See the announcement post for official details.
Something’s going right for someone – but it sure isn’t Viper, and it sure isn’t our hero. Poor Viper just can’t seem to catch a break.
