Nominees announced for the 34th annual GLAAD Awards

Nominees this year include ‘Immortal X-Men,’ ‘Sins of the Black Flamingo,’ ‘Magical Boy’ and more.

The Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, or GLAAD, have announced the nominees for their 34th annual Media Awards, which recognize and honor media for their fair, accurate and inclusive representations of the LGBTQ+ community and the issues that affect their lives.

Like last year, the awards feature two categories — one for comics books and one for graphic novels. DC led the pack with six nominees across the two categories, followed by Marvel with four, and Image and Graphix with two each. Last year Crush & Lobo from DC Comics and Cheer Up! Love and Pompoms from Oni Press took home the awards.

Check out the nominations for both categories below, and visit the GLAAD site for the rest of the nominations across TV, film, and more.
