It was announced only hours ago that Jorge Vega from Brockton, MA won the Platinum Studio's Comic Book Challenge! Congrats to Jorge for a job well done! With this win, Jorge has secured a publishing and multimedia development deal with Platinum Studios, giving him the opportunity to get his foot in the proverbial door of the comics industry. The final product of his comic entitled "Gunplay" will be unveiled at one of Wizard World's conventions in 2008.
Gunplay is described as "the haunting, bullet-riddled tale of a Buffalo Soldier condemned to roam the Big Empty with a hellish curse slung at his waist: a demonic shooting iron that forces Abner to kill once a day or suffer soul-searing pain. His only salvation lies in the earning the trust of a boy he's never met, a boy with an agonizing secret of his own -- and Abner has just gunned down his father." (PRNewswire)
Although the contest has ended, the public is still welcome to go to the AT&T Blue Room to follow the unfolding events that led to Jorge's victory.
