Rise Of Arsenal, Greek Street Win PRISM Awards

One of the most thoroughly ridiculed comics of recent years won a PRISM award over the weekend for its supposedly accurate description of substance abuse and mental illness. Justice League: Rise Of Arsenal was one of those books that in trying to underline certain serious aspects to a superhero character and his adventures quickly settled into near-legendary status for its extravagant, outsized take on, well, just about everything. One guesses this was not an opinion shared by the awards organizers. Since the web site itself seems to have been put up to frustrate people into punching their screen as they scream vows of revenge on the organization, I'll send you to JK Parkin's well-linked posting on the matter at Robot 6. Also receiving recognition is a storyline from the now-defunct, mythology-driven Greek Street about post-traumatic disorder that was almost certainly not as wild-eyed as the Arsenal book. At the same time, I'm also guessing far fewer people read it.
