Every four hours or so I will be posting the totals so I can make a graph showing how the voting went over time. Though I may need some help around the 8 AM EST (5 AM PST which is my time).

Dan McDaid was the strongest this week IMO. No one else came even close, he was that good.

The more I look the more I say Jon Reed. Dan's style just really didn't work for me. (I know, I know. That's a very unpopular opinion around here. But I have the right to disagree.)

I've really liked Caio Oliveira, great style. My vote is his. Dan and Daniel made great, but Caio made it better IMHO.

I just finished reading--and loving--Frank Espinoza's Rocketo: Journey to the Hidden Sea, so Dan gets my vote this week because his work reminds me so much of Cooke AND Espinoza. Dan's work is intriguing, and I look forward to seeing more.

I say we start a 'Save Daniel LaFrance' Group, lol. He's tied for last place right now, and he definitely deserves to be higher up. Hopefully we'll get to see more work from him!

**Dan M** · 10-17-2007, 11:13 AM

My girlfriend voted for DLF. Go DLF!

It's still early. These things have an eb and flow to them.

man I don't envy the contestants at all during this part. ooh boy.

**DanielSchenstrom** · 10-17-2007, 11:26 AM

I had a really, really, really hard time choosing between Jose and Andrew. In the end I thought: Who would I most want on my favorite books, and for me that was Jose. So Jose, go draw me some Uncanny X-men. And Andrew, New X-men is yours.

**George Tramountanas** · 10-17-2007, 11:28 AM

Lots of great entries! The one with the clearest story-telling to me was Charles Paul Wilson. I don't even need any word balloons or SFX to tell what's going on.

Good job!

I certainly hope that this public vote isn't the only way a contestant is judged to determine if they move on. I can't believe Warren deserves to be at the back of the pack. I hope this doesn't turn into a popularity contest instead of judging on merit. That's just my opinion.
