Although Saga continues to take home multiple Eisner Awards (see "2014 Eisner Award Winners"), and won the Hugo last year (see "'Saga' Vol. 1 Wins Hugo"), Hugo Award voters took a different view this time around, awarding Time by Randall Munroe, an unusual 3,000+ frame slow-motion animation endeavor published online as single-panel XKCD installments over several months, the Hugo Award for Best Graphic Story. 
 
The 2014 Hugo Award winners were announced on Sunday night at the World Science Fiction Convention in London.
