Your 2013 Diamond Gem Awards Winners

Diamond Comic Distributors, Inc. has named its Gem Awards winners for the 2013 iteration of their awards, as caught by Kevin Melrose over at Robot 6.

I would suppose one useful way to read these is according to the way they're conducted. So take note of the categories as representative of how Diamond looks at the various services they offer, and process the winners as those in that category that have made an perceptible impact on the voting base -- direct market retailers.
