Congratulations, man! I don't get all this "dark horse" and "most improved" stuff. I thought you should win it from round 1! You came out on top over some really tough competition too.

John Reed's Round Four submission was my favorite piece from anyone during the entire contest. Awesome work, and good luck.

[peruzzo]

Congrats Jon. Your style really grew on me throughout the rounds. Voted for you all the way.

On a side note, John actually reached out to me with a PM before the contest even started with some great feedback on my submission, saying I was one of his top ten entrants. Of course I didn't get in, but it shows you he has great taste! :D

[mightyfineline]

I have too many people to thank....So I'll just say thanks(!!!!!). I'm a lucky guy with a few very good friends. And winning this contest doesn't mean anything unless I do something with it.

Chiming in late, but you deserved every accolade you got! Excellent work Jon!

[hakstooy]

Congrats Jon, there was some really great work produced during this competition and I really enjoyed watching it come together.

All the contestants really pulled it together during every round, but I have to agree with whoever said earlier that your Round 4 was their favorite cause I really thought you killed that one.

I really enjoyed seeing the work produced during this competition as well as the nailbiting vote results from each round, so a special thanks to all the contestants and all the people who helped make this awesome contest happen.

And everyone that doesn't know Jon, this honestly couldn't happen to a nicer guy. Dude is the most self-effacing and genuine person I've ever met, I'm really happy for him.

[BADunn]

Wow. I've been saying and saying it (and I'm sure no one read it but hey, you know, whatever) but I never really expected that you would win and yet I suddenly saw half way through that there was a good chance you would surprise everyone, even your supporters, by getting the win. You proved me right and you did it by working hard, working fast, staying accurate, and staying true to yourself.

Congratulations on the win, Jon, and good luck to you as you make your way through all the new opportunities that are coming for you. Surprise or not, you deserve this and all the rewards that will come to you in the future.

[Nick Pitarra]

Awesome work man! I'm so happy for you, you know from the get go that I loved your stuff...your talented, unique, and fast with your pencil. I gravitate to styles like yours. And like I said at the beginning,I'd buy anything you do...so I can't wait to see what you do for these assignments. Really proud of you man.

Best,
nick

[Vig]

Congratulations! Can't wait to see the Witchblade cover.

[W.Blankenship]

I congratulate you with sorrow in my heart. You did impress me during the Legion round above your previous entries.

Enjoy your dinner,

[Dan M]

A well played victory Mr. Reed. I knew that you had it from the start. Congratulaions.

[escapegoat]

Kudos on a game well played Jon Reed. While I wasn't your biggest fan, I did like some of your pages during the competition and your style definitely stands out from the others.

[SUPERECWFAN1]

Congrats on winning CBIII. I voted for you in the final contest since I liked your art from there. Good luck...

[Mateus]

Congratulations, Jon! I didn't really dig your art at first but you proved me wrong specially with that amazing job on round 4 and now I'll be really looking forward to hear what's next for you, and hopefully will see your name in something getting published here in Brazil.

[Marc Silvestri]

Congrats Jon! You know what to do now man. Practice, practice, practice! You've got your foot in the door the rest is up to you! Look forward to the Witchblade piece!
