Diamond Announces Nominations For 2012 Gem Awards - Bleeding ...

The nominations for the Diamond GEM Awards, voted on by retailers, have been announced. You can see last year?s nominations and winners here. Bleeding Cool Magazine #1 is nominated for Best Magazine. Archie and Valiant have squeezed out Zenescope and Oni for Publisher Under 4%, and bizarrely Hit-Girl is described as a ?Licensed comic?. Not quite sure of the logic there.
