P.T. Hylton (pthylton) | 4 comments Great rules!

Question about the Graphic Work category. As an example, let's say I want to nominate Mind MGMT. Am I nominating the series itself (which came out monthly in 2014) or am I nominating a specific collected edition (Mind MGMT vol 3)?

If the latter, would comics published in previous years that received a new collected edition in 2014 be eligible? (Like the Scott Pilgrim vol 4 deluxe colored editions that came out last year.)

Also, this is the most annoying comment I'm ever posted on the Internet, so my apologies. I won't even be mad when I when the award for most annoying comment. :)

Monica (sophblueberry) Is The Martian eligible? From what I can tell, it was self-published in 2011 and picked up by some part of Random House and re-released in 2014. Just want to confirm I've got my information right!

The Martian is eligible yes, anything self-published before 2014 and traditionally published in 2014 IS still allowed :)

I think its similar to the Three Body Problem, which was 1st published in Chinese in 2008.

Maija (maijavi) Is Neil Gaiman & Chris Riddell's The Sleeper and the Spindle eligible for the Short Work or the Graphic Work category? I would quickly say that it is 50/50 words and images, and that Riddell's contribution is at least equal to Gaiman's. I would put it in Graphic Work, but I wanted an "official" opinion! :)

The Sleeper and the Spindle is eligible as a Graphic Work.
