What is the Comic Character of the Month?
Comic Underground and Disney Heroines co-host a special contest called The Comic Character of the Month contest. Every month, the head admin chooses a comic book character from Disney's Marvel films, and people submit artwork based on that character. All Comic Underground sponsored artwork in the Comic Underground Gallery based on that character is automatically included in contest, but please put all submissions be put in the Comic Underground Comic Character of the Month gallery folder. Similarly, all Disney Heroines sponsored artwork in the chosen character's folder based on that character is automatically included in contest, but please put all Disney submissions be put in the Disney Heroines Comic Character of the Month gallery folder. One winner is chosen from each group, and both winners get 10 deviantART point each, a permanent place for their winning work in the Featured section of the group they submitted it to. Everyone who submitted work for the contest will have their work in a group feature (which is this!) that appears in in the blog of both groups. However, we are now discontinuing the contest in Disney Heroines and keeping it solely in Comic Underground. We will be replacing this monthly contest at Disney Heroines with a Disney Heroine of the Month contest in the future.
Thoughts on Christine Palmer
Although we usually have a literature piece by ImpulsiveSpidercide, I (SavvyRed) will be writing one instead.
Christine Palmer is definitely not a famous or glorified Marvel character. Although she appears as the neurosurgeon Dr. Christine Palmer played by Rachel McAdams in the 2016 Marvel film Doctor Strange and serves as the good doctor's love interest, she is actually not from and never appears in the Doctor Strange comic books. Her character originates in a series of comics called Night Nurse (in which she is, well, a nurse). Truth be told, I have no idea why they chose that character. Dr. Christine Palmer has nothing in common with Nurse Christine Palmer other than being female, attractive, and in the medical field. Fans of the comic book version of Doctor Strange know that his love interest is a fellow superheroine Clea, who has a lot of depth and is well-recognized by Marvel comic books fans. However, the director of the film version decided that he wanted a mortal character for Dr. Stephen Strange because he wanted someone to tie Stephen to the non-magical world, someone who would tempt him back from the metaphysical realm. This does make sense, but it is still weird that the director chose such an obscure character in the Marvel Universe. Although it's obvious that he chose to make her a neurosurgeon to have a more feminist interpretation (which is good). Despite everything, including her lack of popularity in the fandom world, I think Christine is an interesting character and hope that she appears in a Doctor Strange sequel or in a future film installment of The Avengers series. If you haven't watched the movie Doctor Strange, you're missing out; unlike many recent comic book films, it was very critically acclaimed and beloved by moviegoers as well. You might actually like the character Christine even more than I do!
