The Eagle Awards 2007
The Eagle Awards are Britain's most prestigious awards for comics. It's Eagle Award voting time again, and there's a handy online form:
http://www.eagleawards.co.uk/nominate.asp
You can either pick from the drop-down lists provided, or write-in your own nomination, which I think is a very fair system. Voting closes at the end of February. The winners will be announced at the Bristol Comics Expo on Saturday May 12th.
I'd like to advance the cause of a few fellow creators I've worked with, notably on Wisdom:
Favourite Comics Artist (pencils): I've written in Trev Hairsine (who I think deserves to be a drop down). I'll pimp for new Wisdom artist Manuel Garcia this time next year.
Favourite Comics Artist (inks): Paul Neary.
Favourite Comics Artist (fully painted artwork): D'Israeli.
Favourite Editor: Nick Lowe.
Favourite Colour Comic Book (American) and Favourite New Comicbook: if you put Wisdom for either of these (and to my joy it's in the drop down list for the latter) I'd love you forever (terms and conditions apply).
Favourite Comics Cover: Wisdom #1.
Apart from that, in my own nominations I've done my share of Gail Simone, Marks Waid and Millar, Albion, 52 and Marvel love.
Now, I have to be out the door to go and have lunch with Terrance and My Agent. At the same time. If anyone's at the Fitzroy Tavern tonight, corner me and I shall buy you beer. Cheerio!

There's a campaign to gather write-in votes for late, great letterer Tom Frame as Roll of Honour or Hll of Fame or whatever the relevant category is - vote now! Vote early! Vote often!
That sounds like a jolly good plan.
You still have to blog about your WRONG love for 52. Then we can have the discussion :)
12 issues to go and then I'm free of having to review every issue for Fractal Matter (new issue now up at http://fractalmatter.com).
Fractal Matter also makes a rather good vote on the Eagle awards for Favourite Comics Related Website.

I'm now slightly afraid of doing that. And yes, FM would be a contender for the best website award.
You are afraid because you know it is wrong :)

I've decided that my next post is going to be about canonicity. I'm afraid about that too.

I love Shortpacked. Although 'personal canon' is one of the things I'm about to have a go at if I ever get this canonicity blog finished.
I could write about canonicity. But it would basically be a huge essay saying 'why is there such a big deal about canonicity?'.
And I prefer to be a little more subtly hypocritical.
Also: wiigii.
What I want to know, Paul, is will your blog on canonicity be considered a genuine part of your blog? Just getting the inevitable gag out of the way.
Ello. I'm the Wikipedia person who was talking to you about photographs at the BSFA. Do you want to drop me an email at morwen@evilmagic.org? Ta, Abi
Sometimes there are three messages in a row that, for their different reasons, it's hard to reply to in a satisfactory way. This is one of those times. Blog about 'canon' soon, but maybe not today. It's an epic.
