2017 Ignatz Nominations include a new category; three noms for Ferris
The 2017 Ignatz Award nominations have just been announced, and this years honorees are a solid mix of mainstream (March Book 3), indie (My Favorite Thing is Monsters) and micro-press/self-published (Carolyn Nowak, Sabin Cauldron). I draw no wider implications from the list except that comics 2017 artistically speaking are strong. Emil Ferris's My Favorite Thing is Monsters - kind of the To Kill a Mockingbird of comics at this point - lead with three noms including Outstanding Artist, GN and Story.
