Whew, this has been one rough, roller coaster of a match! It’s like a car wreck in there, with all of the busted up bodies laying around but really, that’s par for the course in a fatal-four-way match. You can’t blame the girls for being spent, and now its really a race to see which one can get up first and take advantage. One would have to think that there’s some serious heat between Sun and Krystin, with the almost joyful abandon that Sun attacked Krystin with.  But now all the girls are laid out, the first one up with have a HUGE advantage.

Here’s a clip of the Backcracker:

And be sure vote and check out the NEW VOTING INCENTIVE, done up ULTRACOOL by Hannah (Spiked Stock).

I just got this great piece of fan art by the uber-talented Hannah (Spiked Stock), and you may have noticed her posting about here in the comments.  Its this dynamite and sexy picture of Sabrina at the beach and I thought I’d put it up as voting incentive.  Even more incentive to vote, right?!

Hannah is an artist and stock model, so check out her site, you’ll be glad you did.  You may even notice a few poses I used as reference for Rival Angels there! 

Every month and usually more often than that, I usually write to you all about voting with the side buttons at Buzzcomix and the Top Web Comics sites. Basically, by you voting, its a low stress way for you to support Rival Angels in getting in front of more and more readers.

I want to thank everyone who votes every time they visit the site, when it updates and especially those who vote every day!  Thank you very much.

And its paid off.  On Buzzcomix, its hard to break the top 100 but so far we’re hovering around 78.
 

And not too shabby over at Top Web Comics:
 

I certainly don’t think we’ve peaked by any stretch either.  Hopefully, Rival Angels will continue to get in front of some new readers who dig it. So thank you everyone who’s been voting, I really appreciate it.  This weekend I’m hoping to get some wallpapers done for download (thanks to MGC for that suggestion) as well as few other cosmetic updates around the site.

So I saw Iron Man this weekend and it was excellent, big ups to Marvel.  I’d say this clocks in after the first two Spidermans and tied with the first X-men movie, though the second X movie was very good.

From the get-go, they set up who Tony Stark was and where he was going and then dropped him into the fire, so to speak.  Robert Downy Jr was excellent as Tony Stark.  In the comics I always thought that Tony was a charming, smooth player, but never did I think he was a funny guy which he most certainly is in this movie. The movie is funny without it being distracting and there are some great moments with his robots, specifically the flame retardant robot. There’s also a hilarious scene aboard Tony’s private jet.

Iron Man himself is awesome.  I marked out hard when he was flying around, like in the picture above almost as hard as when I saw Spiderman swinging around for the first time.  Man, I’d do that for hours if I could.

The cast was very good.  Howard and Paltrow were solid but the guy who stood out the most was Jeff Bridges (The Dude!) and that shouldn’t be any surprise, but well, it sort of was.  The guy was flat out amazing as Obidiah.

I myself didn’t find too many things askew from the source material.  Sure they updated Tony’s origin from Vietnam war to the one in Afghanistan and made Rhodey a General, but these are very minor.  No complaints whatsoever.

So if you haven’t seen this yet, I strongly suggest you do.  Prepare for a good movie, maybe the best so far this year.

New Voting Incentive!  This one is of the lovely Brooke, who has a rabid following here at Rival Angels.  This voting incentive has her wearing nothing but her wrist bands!  Use the either of the voting buttons on the side (OR BOTH) to check it out.

This being the start of the month, the rankings reset so everyone starts from scratch.  Voting is a great way to support the site by helping increase its awareness to the webcomic community.  Thanks everyone for voting!
