http://cbi.comicbookresources.com/cbi3/idol-thoughts-109/#more-52

Marc Silvestri (CEO, Top Cow Productions)
(interview to come)


We already know who those judges are, but can you guess who our guest judges will be?

Here are some clues...

Round 1: "Look to the mountains."

Round 2: "He is in CBI."

Round 3: "Disqualified."

Round 4: "He is Legion."

Round 5: "Marvels."

I've got some free comics for the person(s) who guess(es) the most correctly!

Deadline is Thursday, October 11th @ noon E.S.T.

[AzIz]

Round 4 has to be Satan.

[ScottDMSimmons]

Okay, I'll take a wild stab at these:

Round 1: Jeff Smith
Round 2: Patrick Scherberger
Round 3: "Willustrator"
Round 4: Mark Waid
Round 5: Kurt Busiek

[CPWilsonIII]

Those seem like really good guesses!

[MartinRedmond]

Round 4 has to be Satan.
That would be pretty cool.

[frbarba]

round 2: micah gunnel?

round 4: chris claremont?

round 5: alex ross?

1. J Scott Cambell



4. Jim Shooter

5. Marcus McLaurin

I'll try to update the other two later, but for now this is all I got.

[Shakespeare]

Round 1: "Look to the mountains."

Answer: Legolas (He used this line during 'Return of the King'!)

Round 2: "He is in CBI."

Answer: J Edgar Hoover

Round 3: "Disqualified."

Answer: Marion Jones (contestants beware, if you win because of her, you may have to give the prize winnings back as part of a guilty plea settlement.)

Round 4: "He is Legion."

Answer: Satan

Round 5: "Marvels."

Answer: Joe Quesada

Be careful with the judges of round 4 and round 5 they both deal with contracts that require the signee to relinquish their soul; but Marvel has a better Legal team, they refer to the contract as an 'Exclusive'.

I read somewhere that C.B. Cebulski was giving away a prize...with his reputation as a finder of new talent...and for giving alot of new guys work... I'm going to say he'll be a judge at one point. He has chestquest going on right now where he's picking 12 artist(and one cover artist):eek: from around the world to work on a project for marvel...I've entered alot of contest...and thats just unheard of...just an incredibly generous gesture to new talent. A big reason why I entered this contest was to show what I could do on a deadline when I mail my stuff off to his contest. Your talking about potentially changing 12 struggling artist lives...being able to put Marvel on their resumes(even if its only as pin-up),<---which I'm actually thinking its an entire issue of work...I don't believe he's anounced the project yet.But it makes sense that he needs 12 artist for 12 issues and one artist for covers(for a year project). That way he'll minimize risk of what we (as amateurs) are all somewhat prone to ...flakeyness...by giving slower artist up to a year to get there work together. Or it could be simplified into ....12 artist doing 2 pages a piece for one single issue...with one guy doing a cover.Or 12 artist doing 6 pages each for a trade/anthology type collection. Either way its really incredible.....combine that with the juggernaut of oppurtunities that comibookidol offers and this is really an awesome year for aspiring artist.....that zuda thing is going on too(haven't checked it out yet)....the fact that image is publishing such a broad range of work and getting back to applicants super fast(I heard erik larson will get back to you in email...if you email him links to your stuff) and the darkhorse new recruits (but I believe that is behind like a year or so).Well....I'm getting off topic....I say C.B. will be a judge... he's definitely the type of guy who will be watching this contest.If my hunch is right.... I'd say thats another huge reason to play at home.

Plus 3 of those clues could be hinting at him. Look to the Mountian b/c he's traveling the globe. Marvels b/c he is known for editing and writing and Talent coordinating(i guess thats what you call it) for Marvel. And he is in CBI. Well the letters C.B. are in CBI. But then again I could be way off and have no idea about what the hell I'm talking about.

Wow, not too many people making guesses for this little contest. Here are mine:

Round 1: "Look to the mountains." - Vince Hernandez

Round 2: "He is in CBI." - J. Torres

Round 3: "Disqualified." - This one has left me the most clueless. Disqualified could mean several things. Will Sliney seems to be the best guess here, though it seems odd to me to pick a person who had to drop out of the competition as a guest judge (No offence Will! ;) )

Round 4: "He is Legion." - Jim Shooter

Round 5: "Marvels." - Kurt Busiek

-Ty

[J. Torres]

Some good guesses here... but only Nick and escapegoat each have one right... at this rate, Nick's going to win all of these little side contests... ;)

No Guess Sadly (as I don't think it's Busiek or Ross)

[Nick Pitarra]

Awesome...what a great 1st guest(and script)...and C.B. will be a guest judge too! I'm so pumped!

Listening to some Bruce Springsteen, just heard this "radio nowhere" song and its pretty damn good....next up is Jim Croce's greatest hits<--greatest cd ever.

Sexy women and huge explosions.
Truly, this contest is off with a BANG. XD

[escapegoat]

Alright Torres, I give up - how does "Disqualified" work as a hint for Ryan Ottley/Invincible? :confused:

[Brandon Hanvey]

Ryan tried to enter a previous CBI but was disqualified due to his work history.

And you call yourself a fan of CBI! Please turn in your flight ring before you leave the clubhouse...

Yeah, it was a big surprise that he wasn't chosen at the time from most people looking on. He's made a fine career for himself so far dispite it. :)

A fan of CBI! Why I never made any such claim! :mad:

Hearing that makes me wanna become CBI's number 1 un-fan instead!


Hmmmmm......

[J. Torres]

Which is what I told him would happen, proving once again how brilliant I am. And always right.
