Your 2012 Stan Lee Awards Winner

A trio of you forwarded a link to this con report emanating from that Mark Millar-curated comics show in London over the weekend -- which surface checking indicates was very successful in terms of selling out its space and driving people with money to the creators in attendance -- and its results for something called the Stan Lee Awards. It appears from contextual clues within that piece they have been done at least more than once, although I'm hard-pressed to figure out how they stand out in any way other than being this show's awards and getting Lee's name on them. In fact, they're probably primarily interesting for their lack of organization other than tossing in characters and projects and TV shows and the like into the same pile -- a certain approach to comics where all of these things are chunks of carrot in the same pop-culture stew and thinking about them as all being equal things isn't odd.

Writer Scott Snyder, an emerging if not already-there A-list mainstream comics talent and a key cog in DC extending its New 52 success past the initial "gimme gimme gimme" stage, was the night's big winner. Winners in bold. That's I believe a 2011 Sara Pichelli cover at left. At least I hope so.
