Ms. Marvel Vol. 1 Wins Graphic Story Hugo



I imagine there might be more authoritative columns up by now, but I first read the results from a strange year at the science-fiction oriented Hugo Awards yesterday here. I've since read this much longer background piece here.

The first volume collecting stories from Marvel's 2014-launching Ms. Marvel series won its category; that's a very nice win for that book.

Here are the results:

*****

The no-awards given categories appear to be the final outcome -- at least this year -- for a push and subsequent pushback for voting along lines of political ideology. As far as I know, the awards hasn't announced a process by which their awards won't be messed with in that fashion at the nominations stage and into the final voting in subsequent years, and it seems to me to behoove them to come up with something structural if they can. They strike me as a creative bunch, too.
