Vocabulary Meme and Marvel comics

[shadowkat]

For all you aspiring comic book writers out there? Guess what? Marvel Comics is hunting writers. I'm attempting to write something to submit to them, but not sure I can come up with anything.

But figure will attempt something anyways - zip to lose.

Here's the link if you are interested in doing it yourself...
