That being said, there are actually some really good and very deserving Ignatz nominees this year, too, particularly in the "Outstanding Collection" and "Outstanding Minicomic" categories, and not as much thematically-and-aesthetically-interchangeable Silver Sprocket stuff nominated as in years past

According to The Beat, "comparatively more mainstream publishers drew the eye" of Ignatz judges this year, given that Dark Horse and Distillery both got nominations. Guess they haven't noticed that they've been nominating crap from Dark Horse, Image, and Boom Studio for years now.
