Your 2008 Gem Awards Winners

imageDiamond has announced a list of winners for its 2007 Diamond Gem Awards, an award designed to honor success in the Direct Market of comic book and hobby sales and voted on by Diamond's retail accounts. Such notable sales successes as Buffy The Vampire Slayer Season Eight #1, Captain America #25, Naruto Vol. 14 and League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: Black Dossier were awards winners. One of the more interesting categories in past Gem Awards announcement has been the best new publisher category, because it indicates someone that's having some success or at least seems headed in that direction. This year it went to Red 5 Comics. DC Comics and IDW won the other major publisher categories. The DC might strike some as odd given some of their sales struggle in recent months.
