With the winner of the Superhero of the Year contest announced, I want to publicly thank some people.
First and foremost, I want to thank every one of you. Whether you've contributed to contest once or several times, whether you've dropped a comment, shot me an email or tweet, or if you read the site in any capacity, thank you. Superhero of the Month started modestly, and took off because of all of you. Word has spread about our site and our contests, and none of that would be possible if it wasn't for you guys and your willingness to give this site a chance. So, as corny as it might sound, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I'd like to thank everyone who helped out for the Superhero of the Year contest: Dave at Dr. Volt's, Scott at Scott's Comics, Tyson and Lucas from Big Shiny Robot!, our fan guest judges BJ and Taylor, and the always awesome crew of Girls Read Comics. I'm bummed I couldn't fit in a proper profile on them this time around, but they'll be back with is in March to present our Birds of Prey contest, and we'll for sure be running some nice words on them during that month.
Thanks to all our sponsors over the last year. Obviously, this includes those listed above that returned for the Superhero of the Year contest, as well as The Goblin's Cavern (formerly Dan's Comics) and Heebeegeebeez Comics & Games. I'd also like to thank Chris from Batman-News.com, who co-presented our Batman contest with us in October. All of your participation really made sponsored months a lot of fun.
Thanks to Mitch, who does a great job in helping judge each month's contests. His help is much appreciated, and I'm looking forward to having more posts on Superhero of the Month say "Posted by Mitch Albright" in future months.
I hope you're all excited for what we've got coming in 2012. Gorilla Grodd, re-imagined for the New 52 in January. Starfire in February. Birds of Prey in March. These are just the start of redesigns suggested by fans of Superhero of the Month or, in the case if Birds of Prey, contests that give you significant freedom in choosing who you will redesign.
Keep an eye on Superhero of the Month throughout December. We'll be finalizing the new look of the site. We've got a new poll running, asking you whether we should make Superhero of the Year an annual thing. (Sorry for the crappy text color on the poll. That should be fixed once the site is completely updated.) The Gorilla Grodd contest announcement will be coming after Christmas (but feel free to get started now). And once we get Superhero of the Year prizes finalized, we'll let you know what the winners pulled! (Trust me, if SHotY becomes an annual thing, this will be figured out before the contest!)
Thanks again to all of you. You have made the first year of Superhero of the Month a success.
