wonder why we need pals of Lulu awards specifically for girls? because the “regular” awards wind up ignoring them.
Here’s the announcement of voting starting for the CBG fan Awards. Now, bearing in mind the magazine’s likely audience, this is coming from a bunch of older white males, and it’s practically exclusively DC/Marvel, but still… out of 5 nominations each in 7 developer categories, there are 2 women total listed, both as colorists. (Girls get to use the crayons, but only after the young boys have done the rest of the work.)
Also interesting:
The list of creative categories starts with Editor. Mmm-hmmm.
Villains United is up for favorite story of the year, but the creators, Gail Simone and Dale Eaglesham, are nowhere on the developer nominee lists. I guess it magically came into being through the work of those exceptional Editors.
They should have had very few ideas for the favorite graphic novel category for The Fountain to show up on it. I’m not saying it’s a bad book — I haven’t read it — but because it was a $40 hardcover that I haven’t heard anybody mention at all, I don’t believe that the people voting to make it a nomination all read it.
Bravo to Alex Robinson and top shelf for breaking the DC/Marvel monopoly by getting Tricked into the favorite graphic novel category.
Ah, fan awards… where after you finish considering the contributions of artists and their works, you get to vote for whether Batman or Spider-Man is the cooler character.
