Congratulations to all of the nominees! If you know a nominee,
please pass on the good news using email, Facebook, and Twitter.
Just one interesting thought, I don't know why I scanned through this list of people I don't know and things I don't read... but I saw AFTERLIFE WITH ARCHIE among the Best New Series list. SERIES. Not single issue, as in maybe ISSUE 1 (that may not have even been published yet) . Ahem. As I understand it - and I could be wrong - that series hasn't started yet. According to your post a few day ago it was just announced/decided what cover would be used for the final issue of Life With Archie.
ReplyDeleteThe irritating thing is I don't really care, but I do hate it when awards are that blatantly flawed.
Ahh. Right. Afterlife With Archie was another attempt to get hipper and rake in money based on The Walking Dead phenomenon. I have not and will not buy them. Basically its 'horror' stories featuring the Archie characters. Good idea as an "imaginary" series but it is just hopping from one band waggon to the next. They still have not taken the idea "The Saphic Shame of Betty & Veronica" yet. You are forgiven for confusion.
