Welcome back to The Rundown, our daily breakdown on comic news stories we missed from the previous day. Have a link to share? Email our team at rundown@multiversitycomics.com.

– Representative John Lewis’s “March: Book Three” has won four American Library Association awards. These awards include the Coretta Scott King Book Award, which recognizes black authors and illustrators of outstanding books for children and young adults; the Michael L. Printz Award for excellence in literature written for young adults; the Robert F. Sibert Informational Book Award for most distinguished informational book for children; and the YALSA Award for Excellence in Nonfiction for Young Adults. The “March” series is written by Representative Lewis and Andrew Aydin and illustrated by Nate Powell.

– The Academy Awards announced the 2017 nominees. Suicide Squad, Doctor Strange, Rogue One, and Kubo and the Two Strings all picked up nominations. Potential underdog Deadpool is nowhere to be found, however. The ceremony will take place on February 26th, 2017.

– Fox is bringing X-Men to the small screen (again). In addition to Legion, they have ordered a pilot for a still untitled show that will take place in the X-Men universe and be more closely tied with the main X-Men mythology. Unfortunately, it is replacing Hellfire, which would have centered on the Hellfire Club from the comics.

– Jim Starlin’s creations are a big part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (Thanos, Drax, Gamora), but he revealed that Warner Bros. paid him more for the use of KGBeast in Batman V Superman than all of the combined Marvel movies.

– Also from the American Library Association, YALSA has released their 2017 Great Graphic Novels for Teens list. The top three are “Giant Days” Volumes 1 and 2 by John Allison, Lissa Treiman, and Max Sarin (one of Multiversity’s Best Books of 2016), “Black Panther, Book One: A Nation Under Our Feet” from Ta-Nehisi Coates and Brian Stelfreeze, and “Mighty Jack” by Ben Hatke.

– Claudio Sanchez (Coheed and Cambria) will release another volume of “Armory Wars” from BOOM! Studios in April. The series will feature Rags Morales on art duties, returning to monthly comics for the first time since the New 52 “Action Comics” relaunch. The volume will be mercifully titled ‘Good Apollo’ and will loosely adapt Coheed and Cambria’s 2005 album “Good Apollo, I’m Burning Star IV: From Fear Through The Eyes of Madness.”

– Joe Quesada posted some process artwork for the comic book featured in the previously posted Logan trailer over on his Tumblr. The new pages were created specifically for the film and a product of close collaboration with director James Mangold.

– A.V. Club has an exclusive first look at AfterShock Comics’ new sci-fi series “World Reader”, by Jeff Loveness, Juan Doe, and Rachel Deering.

– CBR posted an extensive piece comparing DC Comics’ ‘Rebirth’ to it’s “Cosmic Cousin” ‘Infinite Crisis’ and their opinion on how it can avoid some of the pitfalls of the past.

– Marvel discreetly included Secret Empire #0 in their April solicits without any supporting information, but the story actually starts in today’s “Civil War II: The Oath” according to Bleeding Cool (SPOILERS).
