Als großer Abräumer des Abends dürfte Stan Sakai gelten, der für „Usagi Yojimbo“ nicht nur in der Kategorie „Best Continuing Series“ gewann, sondern auch den Preis für „Best Lettering“ nach Hause holte. Die Comics erscheinen im Deutschen beim Dantes Verlag.

Als „Best Limited Series“ wurde Matt Fractions und Steve Liebers großartige DC Serie „Superman’s Pal Jimmy Olsen“ ausgezeichnet, welche uns Panini Comics bisher leider schmerzlich vorenthalten hat. Die Reihe erhielt ebenfalls den Preis für „Best Humor Publication“.

Dafür dürfen wir im Deutschen jedoch Kelly Thompsons und Elena Casagrandes „Black Widow“ lesen, welche gestern Abend als „Best New Series“ ausgezeichnet wurde. Gene Luen Yangs und Gurihirus überragender Dreiteiler „Superman Smashes the Klan“ wurde gleich zweimal ausgezeichnet: für „Best Publication for Kids (ages 9-12)“ sowie „Best Adaptation from Another Medium“.

Ed Brubakers und Sean Phillips’ meisterhafte Graphi Novel „Pulp“ (Image Comics) erhielt den Preis für „Best Graphic Album - New“, wobei Brubaker auch für seine zusammen mit Marcos Martin entworfene Reihe „Friday“ als „Best Digital Comic“ ausgezeichnet wurde.

Als bester Autor wurde James Tynion IV u.a. für seine Arbeit an „Something Is Killing the Children“ (im Deutschen beim Splitter Verlag) oder auch „The Department of Truth“ (Image Comics) ausgezeichnet und setzte sich damit gegen Kollegen wie Ed Brubaker, Jonathan Hickman, Jeff Lemire, Matt Fraction und auch Chip Zdarsky durch.

Den Preis für „Best Penciller/Inker or Penciller/Inker Team“ erhielt Michael Allred, u.a. für „Bowie: Stardust“ (im Deutschen bei Cross Cult).
