SDCC: ”Sarjakuvien Oscarit” on jaettu – Paper Girls paras uusi sarja
San Diegon Comic-Conissa ei tapahtuman nimestä huolimatta enää liiemmin sarjakuviin keskitytä. Elokuvat, videopelit ja tv-sarjat ovat niiden kanssa vähintään yhtä merkittävässä roolissa.
Ei sarjakuvia kuitenkaan ihan kokonaan ole San Diegossa unohdettu, sillä Comic-Conin yhteydessä on jaettu taas Will Eisner Awards eli sarjakuvien omat Oscarit.
