Requirements1.Your entry must be Void related, meaning you're going to be using your character. The actual setting is up to you, so don't worry about it taking place in Void City. Alive or dead characters are allowed!
2.It must be a stand alone comic and must be something new, so no old battles. You are more than welcome to include bonus material like battle pages or pin ups, but it must be in
addition to your comic.
3.If you are going to feature anyone else's characters, such as cameos. You
must get their consent and info on getting that done is below in the copyright junk section.
4.
Entries must be finished. Unfinished/obviously half assed entries will be declined.
5.Anyone who is a Voider that has done a comic on the site can submit and you won't be declined if you're not the best artist on the site. All that I ask is the entries be completed and are of equal quality to your battles.
6.
No comic sans or unreadable text allowed. Anyone that uses comic sans or difficult to read text will get declined. You can find good fonts for free at
http://blambot.com Digitally lettered pages are preferred so you can edit any typos and such down the line.
