And the winner is ... Variety's comics blog has some highlights from Comic Shop News' recent reader poll of dubious achievements in comics. Here are my favorites:
The "All in the Family?" Award -- John Constantine
"Yes, I understand that sleeping with her will create a god-like child that will eventually save humanity. But dude, that's your sister!" -- Cora Worden
The "Where the Girls Aren't" Award -- The Industry
"The industry as a whole in America are ignoring the 13-17, the pre-teen, and the 5-and-under comics audience, as well as females of all age groups. I'm sorry guys, but most of the female characters created for the American comic and video game market, like Lara Croft and the current Batgirl, are appealing primarily to guys; to me, they seem like they're basically guys with boobs..." -- Nina Twersky
