The 2007 judge's panel consisted of "Scrubs" regular Donald Faison, "Shrek" producer John H. Williams, and Platinum Studios Chairman Scott Mitchell Rosenberg. The 2007 winner was Jorge Vega's "Gunplay", which was published as an original graphic novel by Platinum Studios Comics in 2008. Actor Brandon Routh was a judge for the 2008 Comic Book Challenge which was won by Carlos Weiser's The Armageddon Chronicles. Due to the economic U.S.crisis at the time, Platinum Studios was unable to publish Weiser's book and the event was discontinued after that.
