A organização do Harvey Awards divulgou hoje seus candidatos à 26a edição do prêmio de quadrinhos. Hawkeye, a série de Matt Fraction, David Aja e outros que já passou de sucesso de crítica a sucesso de público na Marvel, lidera as indicações junto a Saga, a série de Brian K. Vaughan e Fiona Staples na Image que também combina elogios e vendas - ambas concorrem em sete categorias cada.
Building Stories
Hawkeye
Saga
O álbum-caixa Building Stories, de Chris Ware, marca presença com cinco indicações. Também tem cinco a série principal de Batman, atualmente a mais vendida da DC Comics. E o júri continua apaixonado pela série do Demolidor, à qual concedeu quatro prêmios no ano passado - este ano ela concorre em mais quatro.
O Harvey é decidido por profissionais da indústria de quadrinhos dos EUA, que votam via Internet. Os premiados serão anunciados na Baltimore Comic-Con no dia 7 de setembro. Já o Eisner Awards, a outra grande premiação de HQs dos EUA, divulga seus vencedores na Comic-Con de San Diego na próxima sexta - veja os indicados.
