This years winner of the Webcomic Idol contest is Simulated Comic Product, congratulations and welcome to Bomb Shelter Comics.
As for Shi Long Pang, you left all of our judges very impressed. From the way the comic is executed, to your ability to incorporate constructive criticism into your strips so quickly. You put up one heck of a fight.

Due to the holiday and judges deliberation taking longer than expected, voting for the last round of Webcomic Idol will be extened by one day. That means the last day of voting is Monday, not Sunday as usual. Remember, voting in this round will decide the winner of this year’s contest. So get those votes in!

Sadly, we can’t let every one of our entries win the competition, as much as we’d like to, so we this week saw Marooned leave the contest. This comic is one of the better examples of the space comic genre we’ve seen in a while. We hope Tom keeps up the great work, and we wish only the best of him. Check out Marooned today.
That just leaves Shi Long Pang and Simulated Comic Product to duke it out for the top spot. Best of luck to both of these comics. We’re pretty stoked to see how this will go. No matter who wins, both these guys (as well as all our contestants) have some serious talent.

This week’s contestant was cut of their own suggestion. Lawn Darts, it seems, will be going on indefinite hiatus soon to take care of their personal lives. While we can understand this all too well, we wish them both the best of luck and hope to see them putting out quality comics in the very near future again.

This week Webcomic Idol bids a fond farewell to Soul Driver, an intense comic by the very talented J. Giar. He was a great contender with a lot of class and a great comic, and we were honored to have him in the contest.
The new round is live, so keep on voting, folks! Remember, you’re voting a comic OUT of the contest!

Week #1 has come and gone. Sadly it has also left five great comics in its path. This past week saw the lost of the first five contestants. So a hearty thank you goes out to the first cut of finalists.
The Superfogeys
The Book of Biff
Xylia
Newspaper Comic Strip
Calamities of Nature
Please keep reading their comics and supporting them. These are all great comics and we’re sad that they had to go. We’re sad that we couldn’t keep all of them, but there can only be one winner.
