Shuster Award Nom

I wasn't going to mention it, but somebody pointed out it would be good for Blue Beetle. The nice folks at the Joe Shuster Canadian Comic Book Creator Awards announced their 2007 nominees:

Outstanding Canadian Comic Book Writer
A Writer is someone who wrote a story that was illustrated by an artist(s). Writers who also drew their own stories are classified as Cartoonists, not writers.

I'm ridiculously flattered. Canadian readers can vote here, if you like. I just hope this gets some more readers for BB -- issue #13, coming out this month, is a GREAT jumping on point as we start the Year Two storyline. There is an interview here talking about the upcoming fun.

Oh, and I voted for Darwyn Cooke, by the way. Because you'd be high not to.
