From some of the comics blogs I've been following recently, like CWR and PWBeat, a number of folks are crying "WTF!" over some of the results; for example, the "Best New Series" category being dominated by a single publisher. However, this seems part and parcel for the Harvey nominations every year.
Basically, if only a handful of professionals submit open ballots, then that limits the pool of nominees and leads to bizarre selections like the eleventh and twelfth volumes of Witchblade being nominated.
Of course, those two volumes of Witchblade may in fact be worthy of a nomination; I don't know. But seeing them alongside Elegy and solanin just raises some red flags. I mean, after looking at the rest of the nominees, I can see how this may have happened. Did folks at Del Ray, Yen Press, DMP and Tokyopop just not bother to submit? Seems like it. They may just see the Harveys as a lost cause and don't even bother sending in anything.
It almost seems to boil down to:
Eisner = Oscar
Harvey = People's Choice/MTV Movie Award
