The Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, or GLAAD, have announced the nominees for the 36th 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.

The awards feature two comics-focused categories — one for comics books and one for graphic novels. Last year Marvel’s Doctor Aphra won in the comic book category, while Four-Color Heroes from Fanbase Press won for graphic novels.
