“Phil and Jeff are two of the best we’ve got, and I couldn’t be prouder of what they achieved with this book,” said writer and publisher Len Mihalovich. “This nomination is a testament to their talent, professionalism, and passion for the craft of comic storytelling.”
Avenger (New Blood) #1 reimagines a 1950s-era superhero for today’s audience, combining retro charm with a modern sensibility. It tells the story of Rica Roberts as she uncovers her grandfather’s secret life as a costumed hero’s sidekick.
