Your Dwayne McDuffie Award For Diversity In Comics 2016 Nominees

imageThe Dwayne McDuffie Award For Diversity In Comics surges into its second year at a time when diversity in comics continues to be something championed and appreciated by just about everyone save a few bruised, possible damaged souls. McDuffie was a significant presence in comics and animation based on comics before his untimely death the day after his 49th birthday.

The awards announced their nominees today through I think Hollywood Reporter. If I'm not right about that, the show business publication had the article very quickly upon its announcement.

The nominees are:

* Andre The Giant: Closer to Heaven, Brandon Easton And Denis Medri (IDW Publishing)
* Fresh Romance, Janelle Asselin, Editor (Rosy Press)
* Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur, Brandon Montclare, Amy Reeder And Natacha Bustos (Marvel Entertainment)
* Ms. Marvel, G. Willow Wilson And Adrian Alphona (Marvel Entertainment)
* Zana, Jean Barker And Joey Granger (Emet Comics) (pictured)

Ms. Marvel was also nominated in 2015 for the inaugural award.

The winner will be decided by a committee consisting of Neo Edmund, Joan Hilty, Joseph Illidge, Heidi MacDonald, William J. Watkins and Matt Wayne.

Marc Bernardin will provide the keynote address on February 20 in conjunction with Long Beach Comic Expo. Congratulations to all of the nominees.
