Congrats to @nkjemisin on Best Graphic Novel at the #HugoAwards for FAR SECTOR! I really designed the FAR SECTOR emblem a number of years in the past after I was doing @highlevelcomic at DC. They appreciated my HIGH LEVEL emblem and requested me to take a stab at this one. Very proud to be concerned! https://t.co/Ias5Q8uJtM

Published by DC as a part of their Young Animal imprint, Far Sector was a particular take on the Green Lantern that had garnered vital acclaim and an Eisner nomination throughout its run.

Far Sector gained the 2022 Hugo comics class regardless of stiff competitors from the sixth quantity of Hugo juggernaut Monstress by Marjorie Liu and Sana Takeda, and two Kieron Gillen scripted sequence – DIE! vol 4 (Image), with Stephanie Hans; and Once and Future vol. 3 (BOOM!), with Dan Mora and Tamra Bonvillain – filling the class.

For the final six years each quantity of Liu and Takeda’s Monstress has been nominated for or gained a Hugo. And that’s to not point out the explosive hit that Rachel Smythe‘s Lore Olympus has been. Or the acclaim that has surrounded Tom King, Mitch Gerads and Evan “Doc” Shaner‘s Strange Adventures (DC).

In Best Dramatic Presentation (Short Form), The Expanse gained the 2022 Hugo with the episode Nemesis Games, written by Daniel Abraham, Ty Franck, and Naren Shankar; and directed by Breck Eisner. The Expanse beat its Amazon Studios stablemate The Wheel of Time, in addition to choose episodes of For All Mankind, Arcane, Loki, and Star Trek Lower Decks.

The Denis Villeneuve adaptation of Frank Herbert‘s Dune won the Hugo 2022 Best Dramatic Presentation (Long Form) category – beating two MCU efforts (Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, and WandaVision), Disney’s Encanto, The Green Knight, and Korean house western Space Sweepers.
