PiercingMetal Thoughts: As I pointed out in the rundown of the overall nominations I wasn’t aware about many of the actual titles as much as the creative forces behind them and what I do like about this kind of awards listing is that it sends me to the Amazon ComiXology to see if I can peruse anything or of course the traditional book and comic book store to get real deal physical copies into my hands for the collection. What do you think about this years winners? Chime in down below in the comments section and once again “Congratulations” to the winners. I will see you all again soon, please keep safe out there.
