And the Mouseguard game win was a huge upset (though well deserved); it came out in the voting on top of the 4th edition of Dungeons & Dragons for best RPG.

Wow, sold out! And I love it that Neil Gaiman is racking up the book awards this year. I love both The Graveyard Book and the graphic novel adaptation of Coraline. Woohoo!

What the hell? Did they even read the story at all? I would think it was just a mixup between the names of the two characters if there hadn't been further commentary on The Shadow coming from 1940s pulp origins. Obviously this person truly thought The Shadow, star of numerous pulp stories and a long-running radio show, is now featured as a backup in a new comic, that he is now female, that the iconic black hat, cloak and red scarf have been abandoned for a blue hat and suit and that he/she now has no face. Sure, other than all of those details, the characters are indistinguishable. That's just damn sloppy.
