If you’ve been keeping up, you already know that Friday was the submission deadline for the Comic-Con Ratchet & Clank Create-a-Comic contest. So now it’s time to vote!
We’ve created a Flickr folder with all the great entries here (a super-mega thanks to all who participated!). And now we need your help to determine the winners — it’s time to get in there and vote up your favorites. Just like MLB All-Star voting, there aren’t any specific rules. All you have to do is view one of the photos, and that counts as a vote. If you like it, rack up the page views, get your friends to view it, etc. — we don’t care how it happens.
The comics with the most views from today until noon on July 17, will be picked as winners. Specifically, the top 25 will be receiving an awesome Schwag Bag, and the top comic creators that will be in San Diego area, will be granted access to the July 22 Insomniac Games and SCEA Comic-Con community event, as well as the July 23 exclusive PlayStation event where you’ll go hands-on with some of our biggest upcoming titles.
So get voting because the clock’s ticking! All details and rules are here.

I hope a crack in time supports In-GAME XMB Music!
I know you’ll have great music but having that OPTION is very nice.

StargamerX | July 13th, 2009 at 12:21 pm
The first picture is getting an unfair amount of attention! :P
Also, there’s about a 50% chance of winning, so if I lose… lol

I like the Matt W. one the best

ProSoldier14 | July 13th, 2009 at 12:37 pm
The Gerardo L. one is cool.

StargamerX | July 13th, 2009 at 12:39 pm
Hey Chris, if there are 50 entries, and the Top 25 win for both being at Comic-Con and not being there, wouldn’t that make everyone a winner?

Gamer_Matt27 | July 13th, 2009 at 12:43 pm
I justthoughtof theperfect idea for the comic script. To bad the contest is over, I’m Canadian and I’m under 18…

Zonified | July 13th, 2009 at 12:43 pm
@10:
There are 51 entries so if there are 25 from each catagory, then one person would lose…that would stink! >.<
@7:
I agree. lol
14
StargamerX | July 13th, 2009 at 12:47 pm
@12, you responded to me twice, lol
And the last photo is all of the others put together, not an actual entry (I would think…)
15
Zonified | July 13th, 2009 at 12:52 pm
@13, I did? lol
I didn’t think about the last one. So, maybe everyone did win…maybe.

BlooodyCow | July 13th, 2009 at 12:52 pm
The voting system is kind lame. Couldn’t you guys just create a poll on the blog or the playstation forums with all the entry? Some entry are over look because they have crappy art. Or what you guys could have done what let up find the ones we want, and post the link in our comment as a vote.
That said, I think the one by Josue A. is my favorite and I vote for that.
here is the link *http://www.flickr.com/photos/playstationblog/3717438372/sizes/l/in/set-72157621392384464/

Im gonna have a wee look at them now.
Curse Ireland not getting into these competitions….

xplosneer | July 13th, 2009 at 1:00 pm
I agree with bloodycow, this voting system is somewhat unfair as people may only click on the first one or whatever. Vote system necessary.

DARK_JAK_911 | July 13th, 2009 at 1:07 pm
Some of these look very good, but the majority of them are extremely hard to read.

Most of them are pretty funny!

Xoonaka | July 13th, 2009 at 1:07 pm
I’ve read the first 8-10 or so… and so far, it’s a pretty poor showing overall. I’m sad I voted for those comics. Some of them don’t even make sense.
22
TUSTIN1 | July 13th, 2009 at 1:14 pm
All you Canucks – be sure to vote for Canadian Clank! I think it’s the last comic…

TUSTIN1 | July 13th, 2009 at 1:14 pm
…make that the first one on the last row…

almighty-slayer | July 13th, 2009 at 1:28 pm
Dustin S. FTW
No that’s not me. But that comic make me laugh :D
25
koalafrappe | July 13th, 2009 at 1:39 pm
To everyone saying that they don’t make sense, it is hard to incorperate the theme of time into a comic when you are limited to one page. The only easy way to do this is quick jokes. Anyhow, just saying, don’t be too harsh. Also, I agree that the voting is flawed, but it isn’t that big of a deal, right? ;D
26
Xoonaka | July 13th, 2009 at 1:43 pm
Alright, now I’ve read all of them… and none of them meet all the criteria in my mind. There are a couple ok ones… but the best ones generally ignored the theme of “Rachet and Clank meet themselves in a different time”.
That said, I think I’m going to vote for the one with the PS3 Rachet talking to PS1 Rachet about all the advancements. Even though it breaks the fourth wall a bit, it’s kind of funny and is far more cohesive then many of the others, plus it sticks to theme.

almighty-slayer | July 13th, 2009 at 2:06 pm
i can’t even read most of them.
No doubt the ones with the best art will win, not the best comics
31
hoofrog | July 13th, 2009 at 2:30 pm
I thought we had to use the template given. Several comics had way more than three panes. What’s the deal? I thought the challenge was only using the three panes to tell a story. Oh well, here’s my entry:

i never got the schwag bag from the uncharted competition :-(
37
Xoonaka | July 13th, 2009 at 3:22 pm
@Dolten
To be honest, I didn’t play the first games. I just like the sentiment of the comic. It’s easily read, the art is decent, and it follows the criteria of Rachet meeting a past self.
Like I said, I wish the creator had avoided the fourth wall, but I still think this one did the best job of following all the rules… so it should be rewarded.

Azira013 | July 13th, 2009 at 3:23 pm
I like the ones by Travis F and Jeff T
The Canadian shwag Clank wears gets my vote!

I think people want to forget about that “issue” :)

tveye363 | July 13th, 2009 at 4:08 pm
I don’t see anything in the rules about them having to meet their past selves. It just says the comic has to be about time. That past selves thing just seemed like a chance for inspiration…
Anyways, mine is the very first one. Lemme know what you guys think of it :D

Nomik2 | July 13th, 2009 at 4:20 pm
What if someone just spams a comic for page views?

kinda sucks how you have to vote since you cant read any of them without clicking on them lol. to bad you couldnt show us like 10 at a time and we pick the one we like best until we are just down to 1.

Dylan S.’s is the best, although I could tell what the ending was from the first panel.

@Xoonaka
Glad you like it so much!!
But the 4th wall doesn’t apply to comics, now does it? :)
