*****
My changes this year confused some people, so let me restate: Astro City,
JLA, all of Heroes Reborn, etc, count as Ongoing Series, not New or Limited.
Those three categories are mutually exclusive, as are the awards for Single
Comic (0-64 page original), Graphic Novel (65+ page original), and TPB
Collection (reprint).
