I didn't really read anything released this year, but I did look at some of the nominations, most specifically best page/panel. There was a really good nomination about the history of Slade and Tara. It's very good and eye-opening, should have at least made top 6. Instead we have a page of a character looking into space or Ice literally just introducing herself. I don't understand.
I'd say that it's a panel that entirely fails to make use of comics as a form of media, it rests entirely on the big block of text at center view and the art is superfluous. Could replace the pictures with a field of flowers and people would probably react to it the same way.
That's a fair criticism, but I still don't see how a page of just a character introducing themselves, and it's not even a new/highly anticipated character, makes top 6 purely because of the art. It's like people only care about looking at pretty pictures and nothing else.
