一昨年は「サーガ」、昨年は「モンストレス」イヤーでしたが、
今年はトム・キングが4冠達成。作品としては「ミスター・ミラクル」が強かったですね。
「バットマン」(予定より短縮、トム・キングのストーリーの完結編は「バットマン&キャットウーマン」としてリミテッドシリーズに移行)でのみ受賞できなかったが少し痛いところ、かも。
(読者からの評価は高いし、邦訳も刊行再開したのですが・・・)
そして今年も日本漫画が2部門で受賞しているわりには日本の漫画情報系メディアは動かず。
(受賞は逃したけど「ゆるキャン△」ノミネートはわりと事件だと思うんだけどなぁ)
まぁ、大きすぎるニュースがあったばかりなので仕方ないとは言えますが・・・。
あー、「ミスター・ミラクル」と「ヴィジョン」邦訳出ないかなー!!
ヴィレッジさん、お願いしますよ、本当に。
