While GLAAD will not give the comic book awards first, I’m going to report them first. I’m not familiar with The Boys nor The Outsiders (though I’m guessing it has little to do with the S. E. Hinton book, as hot as that would be). From the list, it looks like GLAAD doesn’t do novels. I guess they let the Lambda Literary Awards take care of that (the fact I’ve only heard of only a handful of these books makes me feel horribly under-read).

Now the nominees:

Comic Book
American Virgin by Steven T. Seagle (Vertigo/DC Comics)
The Boys by Garth Ennis (Dynamite Entertainment)
Midnighter by Garth Ennis, Brian K. Vaughan, Christos Gage, Justin Gray & Jimmy Palmiotti, and Keith Giffin (Wildstorm/DC Comics)
The Outsiders by Judd Winick, Greg Rucka, and Tony Bedard (DC Comics)
Strangers in Paradise by Terry Moore (Abstract Studio)

more nominees after the fold
