Leaving the esteemed competition with honorable mentions
were Hellboy: The Wild Hunt (Dark
Horse), Goon (Dark Horse), and the
free mobile comic Carnival of Souls.
Friends of the Bin Thomas Hall and Daniel Bradford’s brilliant horror-adventure
comic Robot 13 (Blacklist Studios)

Also receiving other Rondo Awards were the Oscar-nominated
film District 9, the British sci-fi
television epic Doctor Who, Rue Morgue magazine, and the bookBela Lugosi and Boris Karloff: The Expanded Story of a Haunting
