Nominated for Joe Shuster Award (Best Writing)!
Just announced this morning is the news that we (Conor and Anthony) have been nominated for a 2012 Joe Shuster Award for Best Writing! This is the second-year in a row in which we have received a nod and we're quite pleased and touched by the nomination. We were nommed for our work on Issues 9 - 12 of the series, all of which were released in the first-half of 2011. Thanks to Kevin Boyd, who does a fantastic job organizing the entire process, the nominating committee, and everyone else associated (even Robert Haines... Boo...). And congrats to all of the nominees.A full list of the nominees can be found by clicking on the logo.
We'd be remiss for not expressing our disappointment that artist Andy Belanger failed to receive a nomination for his artwork for the series. Andy has done a superb job on the series (especially the last four issues - see sample below) and it pains us that he's not recognized. He definitely deserves to be - his layout and art is on the cutting edge and much stronger than most comic creators today.
