Apparently Kids Do Still Read Comics

This week the nominations for Nickelodeon's Kids Choice Awards were announced. In the "Book" category the first trade paperback collection of Dark Horse Comics' Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Eight, The Long Way Home, earned a nod. I'm not sure how the nominees are chosen (the winners are chosen thru online voting) but this TPB must be pulling in a number of young readers to garner a nomination. Granted, I don't think it's going to beat the Harry Potter series for the win, but just getting nominated is a step in the right direction for securing the next generation of comics readers.
