The nominees for the 2009 Harvey Awards were announced and it's a great list. Click through to see the complete list or visit their site. It's a nice mix of some really good superhero books (Ed Brubaker's wonderful work on Captain America; All Star Superman by Grant Morrison) and spectacular graphic novels like Jimmy Gownley's Amelia Rules series and Jeff Kinney's Diary of a Wimpy Kid.

The winners will be announced at the Baltimore Comic-Con on Saturday, October 10. Congratulations to all the nominees, and good luck!
