Site Update On Those Harvey Awards Nominees

I linked up the nominees for this years Harvey Awards, because I'm a person with life-destroying obsessions. Plus 20 percent were from BOOM! and 75 percent were from Valiant, so it was super-easy this year.

It was interesting to track the reaction to those. Most of what got I back this week privately in terms of feedback on Valiant's performance at the nominations stage was negative, with a tiny thread of who cares and one person who took the standard "well, they ain't breaking any rules" stance. No one wanted to talk to me about the category that used to be industry journalism dominant.

One thing that interests me is that I think less and less of the comics community's standard infrastructure has the support of the men and women that work in the various industries and the readers/fans that are closely attentive. I know that I've talked to a half dozen cartoonists recently that have expressed the feeling they're releasing comics into the abyss, which I think is a symptom of that.
