Your 2011 Scream Award Comics Category Nominees

North America's newly favorite made-up awards program (I know, I know, they're all made up) the Scream Awards, sponsored and broadcast by the proud, testosterone-wielding cable television network SPIKE and recognizing achievement in various manly genres of media-making, has announced its full slate of awards nominees. This includes three comics categories: Best Comic Book/Graphic Novel, Best Comic Book Writer and Best Comic Book Artist. Those nominees are:

The nominations process was juried. Winners will be announced at a ceremony in Los Angeles on October 15, taped for broadcast on the network on October 18 and, one assumes, a couple of times after that. I have yet to see mention of the Comic-Con Icon Award, won last year by Ray Bradbury.
