Your 2016 Comic-Related GLAAD Media Awards Nominees

The media monitoring group GLADD (formerly but I guess not currently the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) has released its annual list of nominees for its media awards program. They are:

* Angela: Queen of Hel, by Marguerite Bennett, Kim Jacinto, Israel Silva, Stephanie Hans (Marvel Comics)
* Harley Quinn, by Amanda Conner, Jimmy Palmiotti, Chad Hardin, John Timms, Jed Dougherty (DC Comics)
* Lumberjanes, by Noelle Stevenson, Shannon Watters, Kat Leyh, Carolyn Nowak, Brooke Allen (BOOM! Studios)
* Midnighter, by Steve Orlando, Aco, Hugh Petrus, Alec Morgan, Stephen Mooney (DC Comics)
* The Wicked + Divine, by Kieron Gillen, Jamie McKelvie, Kate Brown, Tula Lotay (Image Comics)

Congratulations to the nominees.

The awards have been criticized a bit from various angles, including one from comics that the award favors tweaking assumptions of corporate media rather than relative artistic achievement even with the parameters of the issues involved. The awards program has done better in recent years in expanding the range of comics it will consider. One thing for which it seems we should all be particularly happy is that it seems there are more comics than ever that should be considered.
