So if I'm nominated for two Eisners, does that mean I'm invited? Do I buy a ticket? How does this work? — Chelsea Cain (@ChelseaCain) May 31, 2017

Novelist and collaborator with Chuck Palhianuk, Chelsea Cain was nominated in the upcoming prestigious Eisner Awards 2017 for Best New Writer for her work on Mockingbird for Marvel, which was also nominated for Best New Series.

What? No? No one has told me anything. — Chelsea Cain (@ChelseaCain) May 31, 2017

But six weeks away from the show, held during San Diego Comic-Con, she hadn't heard a thing.

How? — Chelsea Cain (@ChelseaCain) May 31, 2017

And why?

if I can get in! — Chelsea Cain (@ChelseaCain) May 31, 2017

Because, it transpired, Marvel hadn't passed the invite or information on to her.

Turns out the reason I haven't gotten any info/invitation from the #EisnerAwards is bc @Marvel hasn't passed it along. I love comics. — Chelsea Cain (@ChelseaCain) June 6, 2017

And there was analysis to come.

If you want to know why comics has a reputation for being insular and unwelcoming to outsiders – cough – I have an idea for a case study. — Chelsea Cain (@ChelseaCain) June 6, 2017

I love @marvel. That's what makes me sad. — Chelsea Cain (@ChelseaCain) June 6, 2017

they're not singling me out. It's just comics. They don't care. So different than novels. Kind of stunning. — Chelsea Cain (@ChelseaCain) June 6, 2017

But further than that, she had praise and criticism for the company…

Marvel is terrific. It's truly made up of amazing individuals. But Marvel-the-corp? Yeah. They suck. — Chelsea Cain (@ChelseaCain) June 6, 2017

Can we have that on a T-shirt?

Yes, we can.
