On July 25, the International Association of Media Tie-In Writers awarded their Scribe Awards at San Diego Comic Con. Winners are in bold. According to their website,
IAMTW’s Scribe Awards honor licensed works that tie in with other media such as television, movies, gaming, or comic books. They include original works set in established universes, and adaptations of stories that have appeared in other formats and cross all genres. Tie-in works run the gamut from westerns to mysteries to procedurals, from science fiction to fantasy to horror, from action and adventure to superheroes.
