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 (see TIME.comix review), and Craig Thompson's "Blankets" for Best Graphic Album - New (see TIME.comix review).
