The 2017 Mike Wieringo Comic Book Industry Awards will be presented on the evening of Saturday, September 23, 2017 as part of the The Baltimore Comic-Con. The awards have announced their 2017 nominees, which were put forth by fans and comic book professionals.

With the nomination deadline looming, and due to significant volume each day, the awards determined they needed to extend their original voting deadline to accommodate as many interested participants as they reasonably could without adversely impacting their ability to release and provide sufficient voting time for the final ballot.

Below you can find the full list of nominees. Voting on the 2017 Final Ballot is restricted to comic book industry creative community — anyone involved in and credited with creating comics professionally.

Congrats to all nominated in the inaugural Mike Wieringo Comic Book Industry Awards Final Ballot.
