It feels as if voting for Spike TV’s inaugural Scream Awards began ages ago, but I guess it’s only been a few months. Finally, though, the awards were handed out this weekend – although the ceremony won’t be broadcast until Tuesday.Frank Miller was honored with the Comic-Con Icon Award, and voted Best Comic Book Writer for All-Star Batman & Robin, beating out Robert Kirkman (The Walking Dead, Marvel Zombies), Mark Millar (Civil War, The Ultimates), Paul Pope (Batman: Year 100) and Brian K. Vaughan (Ex Machina, Runaways, Y: The Last Man).
Sean Phillips was named Best Comic Book Artist for Marvel Zombies. Other nominees in that category were Charlie Adlard (The Walking Dead), Doug Braithwaite and Alex Ross (Justice), Paul Pope (Batman: Year 100) and Frank Quitely (All-Star Superman).
Marvel Zombies, by Kirkman and Phillips, was voted Best Comic Book, over All-Star Superman, Civil War, Ex Machina and The Walking Dead, while Spider-Man’s unmasking in Civil War #2 was named Most Shocking Comic Book Twist.
