Another cool win of the night went to the Star Wars: Doctor Aphra series, which won the award for Outstanding Comic Book. Aphra was originally created by writer Kieron Gillen and artist Salvador Larroca, and was established as a lesbian archeologist who has a morally-ambiguous relationship with the sides of the galactic war.
Currently, there’s no official release date for the second season of High School Musical: The Musical: The Series, but the show recently expanded its cast with the addition of World of Dance judge and Dancing With the Stars champion Derek Hough. Hough is set for a recurring role in the series’ upcoming second season playing Zack, the ex-boyfriend of Miss Jenn (Kate Reinders).
As for The Bravest Knight, there’s currently no word on whether or not the animated series has been renewed for a second season, but we’re hoping its big win will push it along.
You can currently watch High School Musical: The Musical: The Series on Disney+ and The Bravest Knight on Hulu.
Disclosure: ComicBook is owned by CBS Interactive, a division of ViacomCBS.
