Remembering Our “Captain America: Fighting Styles” Redesign Challenge
Note: With Captain America: The First Avengers hitting theatres today, we thought we’d highlight the fantastic redesigns we received when we did the Captain America: Fighting Styles redesign contest last fall. We had a number of notable entries including the winning piece by Daniel Heard seen below. Check out the winners and honorable mentions at those links. Thanks! – Chris A.
Project: Rooftop and Flying Colors Comics Present “Spider-Man: Webhead 2.0″ Redesign Contest
He may be Marvel’s most recognizable character by far, but Spider-Man’s no slouch when it comes to costume changes. From the classic design by Steve Ditko to the black-and-white attire of the 80s and the upcoming redesign in the pages of Ultimate Comics, Spider-Man has a full closet. In the latest of Project: Rooftop’s line of of innovative costume redesign challenges, we turn to Spider-Man.

UPDATED: Project: Rooftop Regulars Redesign Lady Liberty For CBLDF at HeroesCon
Post Updated at bottom with links to benefit auctions.
Note: The P:R Regulars were out in force at HeroesCon earlier this month, and although I personally was unable to attend, all reports say our panel was a hoot. Another neat thing coming out of that was an invitation from the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund (CBLDF) to redesign Lady Liberty. P:R co-founder Dean Trippe, along with Ming Doyle, Joe Quinones, Maris Wicks and Joel Carroll all took part, which you can see in this video.
The five original pieces of art by our P:R Regulars are now up on Ebay for bidding, running through June 30th. Bid hard and bid often — all proceeds go to the CBLDF.

New Project: Rooftop Page Live at Facebook
Project: Rooftop now has a page at Facebook. Go like it. (You can like-like it, too. We won’t tell.)
P:R Programming Update
We’re going through the Canary on the Catwalk results at P:R HQ, and they’re outstanding! We should have the finalists up in a couple of weeks, with guest commentary from GreenArrow/Black Canary artist Mike Norton (currently rocking the art on Billy Batson and the Magic of Shazam)!
We’re all also thrilled at the news of Batwoman’s on-again-off-again-ongoing being BACK ON with artist (and now co-writer) J.H. Williams III at the helm. Thanks again to everyone who sent in fan art in support of the character for Batwoman Week.
Batman by Gregor-A01
Note: I don’t want to oversell the following image, but I feel obligated to point out that this submission from Gregor-A01 is the best redesign concept we’ve ever received here at P:R. I’ve heard about this guy for years now, and seen a few of his unsubmitted (but always far superior) redesigns for our previous events on message boards. I’m so pleased to finally present his fresh take on Batman. DC would be fools not to implement this look immediately. Enjoy enjoying it enjoyably. – Dean Trippe, Founder, Editor, Spokesperson, Tweetmaster, Site Administrator, Nerd Captain.
