In response to the nominations, creator/writer Rylend Grant had this to say:
“I am so wildly stunned, humbled, and earth shatteringly excited to have been nominated for a pair of Ringo Awards today… along side first ballot hall of famers like Brian Michael Bendis, Jeff Lemire, Scott Snyder, Brian K. Vaughan, no less. I still have yet to fully process it. This is very much a ‘pinch me’ moment.
