Accusing the industry of abandoning children, he laid out some suggestions for re-capturing what used to be the medium's core audience, including putting actual kid characters into kids comics. In spite of its critical nature, the speech was met with strong applause. Highlights of the awards included Derek Kirk Kim's Talent Deserving Wider Recognition (see TIME.comix review), Vertical Inc.'s "Buddha" for Best U.S. Edition of Foreign Material...

The deal was devised to reel in lower-level militants in hopes of isolating their hard-core leaders. It was also a canny political move.
