Scream Awards Give Nods To Comics

I'm not sure what to think of the Spike TV Scream Awards 2006, which were held Saturday and are to be broadcast tomorrow night. On the one hand, comic books are designated a genre equivalent to horror, sci-fi and fantasy, which is kind of like the 1974 way to look at comics, while some of the awards have names that would have made me cringe even at 12 years old, like "Fantasy Fox." On the other hand, it's always nice for someone to include comic books in a cross-media award salte even though few watching will likely have heard of any of the winners, and with time this may turn into a televised opportunity for comic book luminaries to show up and drunkenly yell things from onstage.

Comic book winners were:

* BEST COMIC BOOK: MARVEL ZOMBIES
* BEST SCREEN-TO-COMIC ADAPTATION: "X-MEN: THE LAST STAND"
* BEST COMIC BOOK WRITER: FRANK MILLER, "BATMAN & ROBIN"
* BEST COMIC BOOK ARTIST: SEAN PHILLIPS, MARVEL ZOMBIES
* MOST SHOCKING COMIC BOOK TWIST: PETER PARKER REVEALS THAT HE'S SPIDER-MAN, "CIVIL WAR"
* COMIC-CON ICON AWARD: FRANK MILLER

There were some tangentially comics-related awards going to various superhero movies and Vampirella's boobs. Full list through the link.
