It’s got to be pretty good being someone who works on either Marvel’s Hawkeye series or Image Comics’ Saga. Both books dominated the list of nominees for this year’s Harvey Awards. The winners will be announced at Baltimore Comic-Con on September 7th in a ceremony held at a banquet for the industry. Image and Marvel dominated the categories for Best Writer and Best Artist,with Batman writer Scott Snyder snagging a nomination, as well as Joe Hill for Locke and Key. Snyder’s artist on Batman, Greg Capullo, was nominated for Best Artist alongside an all Marvel and Image roster. The full list of nominees follows below.
