Well the Zuda contest has begun and I posted some thoughts about the contest on the Zuda boards.

I’ll note a couple of observations coming out the gate as a competitor this month.

1) All the comics are REALLY REALLY GOOD. A given, true, but it’s even harder to compete this month given every single comic is solid, already have fan bases and would be a great addition to the winners circle.

2) The fact that all the stats from the previous contests are present makes it even harder to gauge how well you are doing against your competition. Where before you could make a guess from the favorites and page view, this month that’s completely out the door. Once the first ranking goes up, I think it will be even more difficult for the comics trying to catch up. Believe me, I know. I was in second place all of April, clawing away at Melody until I finally passed it on the day before the competition ends. Now being in second could potentially become a nightmare, we’ll see. Will be interesting to see how the competition plays out. I predict this will be a runoff month, with whoever taking first at the first ranking winning.

3) As we stated before, marketing the comic may be easier in some respects cause we’ve done it before but trying to get repeat votes from people is tough.

In any case, here are the numbers for Re-Evolution on the end of Day 2.
