>Legends Comics & Books - Lloyd Chesley and Gareth Gaudin, Victoria, British Columbia, Canada
Orbital Comics & Gallery - Karl Asaa, Damian Keeng & James Wilson, London, UK
>Time Warp Comics and Games - Wayne Winsett, Boulder, CO

Well their picks are alright given the shitty list of nominees. Happy for Bellaire and the Bandette team, but at the same time these awards are still garbage. Even the Grammys feels more legit at this point, which is pretty sad.

>Painter/Multimedia
Grats to Nguyen!

I knew Legend of Wonder Woman never had a chance for the digital win, but I'm glad it was at least nominated. Now if they'd just stop dick sucking a horrible book like Squirrel Girl, it'd be great.

Seriously? I don't hate Thor like most folks here, but it's seriously mediocre compared to his earlier God of Thunder work, and Star Wars, Strange and Men of Wrath are all really mediocre at best too.

It's the Allred's 35th Wedding Anniversary which awwww

>>84733075

Darkseid War: GL deserved to be nominated/win, but I enjoyed that issue.

Russ Manning Most Promising Newcomer Award: Dan Mora (Klaus, Hexed)

>>84732553
Nothing to explain. Eisner nominees are made by a random (and small) assortment of comic people, who can easily be swayed for or against any company or any person. That alone makes it difficult to give a single fuck about upsets or snubs in any category.

I mean, hell, if the Oscars are thought of as a joke nowadays, what does that make the Eisners?

And poor John Paul Leon. How has JPL not won an Eisner yet? Then again Michael Allred finally won his first Eisner. Goddamn Eisners are joke.

I don't get the point of this.

>>84732950
Maybe if you read real comics instead of big two funny art shill mags you'd recognize one of the most entry level names

>>84748015
that the Eisner are vanity/popularity/influences awards and not related to real talent?

>>84745390
Bandette is quality m8

>>84748190
You only read superhero comics, don't you?

>>84748257
It has cute art but the writing is pretty much just empty waifubait starring le quirky manic pixie dream girl.

I apologize for all the meme buzzwords, but nevertheless it is true.

>Best Digital/Webcomic
What's the point of this award if they're going to nominate works that innovate the medium and exploit interaction, but only works that could be perfectly printed in a book are going to win?
This is like giving the Oscars to filmed versions of theater plays.

>>84733672
Stop nominating Squirrel Girl and Bitch Planet, you fucks. They aren't even new series.

>>84755063
These are for comics put out last year or that had the bulk of the issues come out then.

Color me disappointed

Strange, I thought OPM was nominated for an award

I didn't serve to come back and have pencil neck geeks I can snap in half with my dick get uppity, boy.

>>84733073
Dang, wish EMC won. The Nib's great.

>>84757683
Seriously? The Internet Tough Guy routine? Seriously?

>>84759332
It really wasn't fair,that D+Q book is stacked with talent

>>84732288
I'll give you Southern Bastards, but fuck the rest.

>>84731280
Hmm... while I love The Life & Times of Scrooge McDuck, I'd say if anybody could beat Rosa (besides Barks, of course) it'd be Walt Kelly.
>>84746247
As am I.
>>84731609
... Rather odd choice, but okay.
>>84733880
It's just politics.

>Losers are in greentext.

There are no pouches at the Eisner's nowadays, Anon. So we don't use words like LOSERS. In today's more enlightened era, we call them:

"Non-winners"

Seriously,

so much this: >>84753050

I'm a guy, im on the Internet and I'm tough. Well, not really, but compared to you I figure I'm the four horsemen of the apocalypse, and maybe that's what comics awards need. Celebrations of degeneracy in the name of a guy named Eisner. Fuck that, and fuck you.

>>84760739
Well then, what a bunch of useless, pathetic non-winners. How can they look their loved ones in the face after this humiliation?

>>84733491
>Ruins
for one second, my brain farted and I thought it was Ellis' Ruins

>>84761885
Keep crying through your computer, you're hilarious.

>>84733814
I've read the first trade of Southern Bastards and still don't get why people love it so much

>>84745130
It's like pottery

>>84760739
"Non-winner" is more respectable but here's your (You).

I hate this industry.

Meh

Kaijumax never gets enough love.

Wew.

>>84766932
>>Others getting mad over King not winning
ftfy

>>84770730
I'm embellishing, of course.

I just hate how Slott won an award for something Morrison did much better and entirely within the confines of a linear comic book, rather than relying on a gimmick. "Oh, wow, the story is infinite and loops in on itself unless I turn the page. This is much better than the realization that by reading a comic book we are peering into fourth-dimensional slices of a person's life."

>>84770793
Right. /co/ can't get mad over Tomine winning because that would require /co/ to know who Tomine is.
