'Surrogates' underdeliver, Shuster and Ignatz Awards, and other ComicMix Quick Picks

Quick Picks for a slow Sunday:

Comic book movie Surrogates flopped in theaters, earning only $15 million over its opening weekend--which is nothing for a big-budget movie like this.
They announced the winners of the Ignatz Awards, given for achievement in comics and cartooning, at the Small Press Expo; and the winners of the Shuster Awards, given to outstanding Canadian comic creators, at the at the University of Toronto as part of the Word on the Street National Book & Magazine Festival.
