I am a faithful reader of Powers. I knew how to win the essay contest. When I read about the contest, I heard a little voice in my ear reminding me that Bendis once written a response in the letter column that went something along the lines of: why don't cute girls write to me and ask to have sex with me & my wife instead of these fanboys? < Not a direct quote, merely a recollection. Sorry ya'll I tried to find it.
Powers is pretty much the only floppy comic I buy nowadays. I delve from my strict Bendis love into Y, the Last Man by BKV but Powers is something special. The rest of the comics I want, I wait for from the library. Do I look like a millionaire?
Plus there are a lot of great cheap comics that my friends in Minneapolis create that only cost me a dollar or two. Sometimes they let me pay in smiles, love, readership, compliments, inappropriate jokes, hugs, kisses and ass grabs.

Why the fuck does Mary have a blog?
I don't need a blog. The inspiration for me having one isn't going to be understandable to you unless you read comics. Specifically unless you read Powers.
I won a contest.
Bendis:
If you (yes, you!) would like to author an upcoming Powers letter column… meaning that you (yes, you!) get to answer the letters to Powers yourself, in your voice, in your own way… if you’d like to take the letter column as your forum to express yourself to the right-minded, comic-buying public who still buy Powers in single issues, then this is your chance!!
All you need to do is write a 25 word OR LESS (NOT MORE!!) essay on why you (YES YOU!) should be the author of the most influential letter column in my life!
Here is why I have one just copied over from my lame ass myspace blog, purely for reference since most of you probably made it to here from my lame ass myspace page:

I love Brian Bendis

How can I choose anything but the clam emoticon?
I had to write a blog since this is pretty important. I do still agree that blog is a dumb word.
I don't know if any of you have seen Powers 25 that came out this week. Bendis was having a contest to have someone be his letter columnist. The fucked up part is that I won.
How bizzare.
Myspace has enabled us to just talk to our favorite authors and artists. Next time you say "Fuck myspace!" - remember me getting to offer myself to Brian Bendis, the man who renewed my love of comics that weren't made by my friends on the copier at work. If you don't read his comics, shame on you. Beautiful, hardcore art and relevant, wonderful stories. Plus Civil War. (Sorry Rob, I know what you think about it.) And Secret War?!?! I think he was shocked that I wasn't a sexbot. I'm not! I am a fan. Really. If I was a sexbot, I would have pictures of myself in a bikini. With my finger in my mouth. Subscribe now to watch me at home!
I transcribed it for you below. You should spend a lousy $4 to buy it though. Am I not worth four fucking dollars to you? That is less than a pack of those nasty cigarettes you have been smoking and far more satisfying. Plus it's a new story arc. You won't even feel left behind if you start reading Powers now. Do it. Do it because I love you. And you love me.
Bold print is Bendis. If you know me, you know what is mine:
And now after months of stalling and padding my letter column with entries; after months of holding back every snotty remark I have building inside me; after literally thousands of entries (which was cool. It was cool to hear from so many of you long time readers, you should write more often!)
The winner is…
