The Harvey Award is given out at Baltimore Comic Con since 2006 and many other cons before that. It is for Achievements in comics much like the Eisner Awards. This years final ballot is full of goodies so lets get started.

First off Valiant Entertainment took home the most nominations and their title Quantum and Woody took home the most nominations for one title so hats off the Valiant and if you’re not reading any of their titles you need to change that.

Up First is Best Writer, which has who you would hope to see. Brain K. Vaughn for Saga. Mark Waid for Daredevil. Matt Fraction for Hawkeye.  Matt Kindt gets a nomination for his work in MIND MGMT. And Newcomer James Asmus gets a nomination for Quantum and Woody.

Best Artist has some of the usual suspects such as David Aja (Hawkeye), Chris Samnee (Daredevil), and Fiona Staples (Saga). But sees some Fresh faces with Dan Parent (Kevin Keller), Nate Powell (March: Book One), and Jeff Stokely (Six Gun Gorilla)

skipping ahead to Best New Series we have some tough choices. Quantum and Woody, Afterlife with Archie, Sex Criminals, Six Gun Gorilla, and Suicide Risk are all worthy so we shall see who takes the crown. 

As For Best Continuing or Limited Series Saga is looking to recapture its title as Daredevil and Hawkeye battle new comers Mouse Guard : Legends of the Guard Vol.2, HIT, and Archer & Armstrong.
