I didn't think much of that short, but maybe I just don't get DeForge. Nice art at least

>>92031813

>>92032120
Stelfreeze was lazy and garbage on Black Panter, shit coloring didn't help either.

>>92032105
it's matt wilson's year this year, he deserves it

>>92032120
Stelfreeze is worse than Staples though

>When a book becomes "good" just because has a cover saying "ask me about my feminist agenda".

>>92032120
Mora definitely deserves it, Klaus was beautiful.

OP here, I'm fucking furious that neither Mignola, nor Stewart got a nod. This is bullshit.

Thanks for dumping.

>>92032159
The minor categories are always fine.

I'll be sad if /co/ focuses on only the major categories being filled with trash, and writes off the Eisners entirely.

>>92032072
>Dan Mora, Klaus (BOOM!)

Woah, was not expecting this, his art is comfy as fuck though.

>>92032227
Well the only ones people care about are best writer, best ongoing, best penciller, etc so things that pretty much only DC/Marvel/Image end up winning
Especially /co/

>>92032220
Also Flintstones didn't get a single nomination anywhere, Hannah Barbers line was ignored completely, same will happen to Young Animals if DC doesn't shill like crazy. Also 0 Valiant nominations.

>>92032070
Not as bad as Lemire's Extraordinary X-Men, but that didn't stop him from getting a nomination.

>>92032072
Cain and Landis? And Vaughan is still getting nominations in these things? Saga went downhill, We Stand On Guard sucked, Paper Girls is already getting boring.

>>92031895
No Flintstones?
>>92031813
No Providence or Sheriff of Babylon?>>92032072
>Writer/Artist
No Scioli?

Weird set of choices.

>>92032186
It wouldn't be on the list if it wasn't for the furor over its cancellation, it's as simple as that.

>>92032220
Stewart gets nominated literally every year, it's about time he was taken off. Bit of a joke

>>92032227
Most of /co/ isn't familiar with the lesser categories so that's usually the case

A lot more DC nominations than I recall in the past.

>>92032144
She's on Saga, and Saga is still popular among normie indie-fags. Rest assured, Chelsea is not going to win best writer because BKV will.

>>92032290
>>92032270
>>92032294
The lack of Flintstones really stings...

Hopefully Deathstroke can win best new series.

>>92032290
>No Providence
It's from UK publisher, so it won't get nomination.

>>92031736
Hope Brecht Evens wins something, Panther should have gotten nominated for best USA edition of international material

>>92032329
That's always great

>>92031832

Black Hammer has to win this category

>>92032329
Did anyone ever prove that they fucked with the nominations last year? I remember hearing that their fans manipulated some other little award thing, but all the Harvey's stuff was hearsay.

>>92032354
It probably will.

>>92032380
no the nominations and votes are by writers and artist it just happens that valiant has some of the best page rate so it was stuffed with their books

>>92032380
Dude, they had like 3 Valiant trades nominated for best book design when all three looked exactly the same design wise, they clearly stuffed the box.

He deserves the Eisner for his work on X-Men Legacy alone. Some of THE best covers to grace comics in recent years

>>92032292
>Stewart gets nominated literally every year
He deserves it. Although I'm not as pissed because it isn't just Bellaire/Stewart this year, I'm really pissed off because Mignola deserved it. So many categories where he could've been nominated.

>>92032354
Not even the best Lemire book dedu.
>>92032384
More likely Mockingbird or Faith takes it.

>>92032088
No one who reads more than one or two image comics. Saga was Never the best comic book in market.

>>92032105
Would Scarlet Witch have counted for this year? Those David Aja covers were pretty nice

>>92032451
Nobody would argue otherwise, but there comes a point where you need to highlight and honor newer talent. It's not like another award on his shelf is gonna change his position in the industry or anything

Personally I think Tamra Bonvillain deserved to be up there this year but whatever

>>92032144
To be fair, she's done some pretty impressive work on Saga.

>Fiona

>Sigh, what Brian

>Draw a giant cock and balls with an eye.

>Why?

>Giant...Testicles....with an eye. hahahaha.

This has to be half of his scripts to her.

>>92032451
I think mignola actually has 10 eisner awards

>>92032502

If only they had patrician taste like you, then they could realize they don't actually like the things they like.

>>92032506
Then they shouldn't keep nominating Staples and Brian Kek Vaughan. I agree with you 100℅.

>>92032147
Fuck no, Vision was alright but c'mon Kingfag. Stop that bullshit already.

>>92032561
Which one is better there?

>>92032551
I agree there too, it's a bit redundant now.

>>92032561
Not a Kingfag at all, I just want it to win because Walta deserves some form of recognition. He should be on something bigger than Occupy Fucking Avengers

>>92032504
Aja won for those covers last year.

>>92031790
Two fucking Vaughan series. I'm so fucking sick of this asshole.

And look at the rest

Brubaker and Phillips tell another generic Noir series

Mighty Thor. How the fuck was Thor better than Tomasi's Superman run. Better art, better writing, more intelligent. What, is it to popular?

Only Busiek from DC, and its Astro City.

Do the Eisner's just hate good Superheroes and innovation? Because these are nothing new.

>>92031832
I expect Deathstroke to lose. I'm just happy its nominated.

BUT IT BETTER NOT LOSE TO FAITH OR MOCKINGBIRD!

>>92031736

>Batman Annual

Okay, I can see that.

>The judges have also chosen 17 nominees from which voters will select 4 to be inducted in the Hall of Fame this summer. These nominees are Peter Bagge, Howard Cruse, Steve Englehart, Justin Green, Roberta Gregory, Bill Griffith, Gilbert and Jaime Hernandez, Francoise Mouly, Jackie Ormes, George Pérez, P. Craig Russell, Posy Simmonds, Walt Simonson, Jim Starlin, Rumiko Takahashi, and Garry Trudeau.

I'm guessing the four will be the Hernandez Bros., Simonson, Starlin and Perez.

HOW THE FUCK IS WE STAND ON GUARD EVEN NOMINATED? SHIT CAME OUT IN 2015.

>What are the basic qualifications for submission? Printed works must have been distributed in the United States between January 1 and December 31 of the previous year. Online material must have been first published in that same time period.

WHEN WILL THESE FAGGOTS STOP SUCKING THIS HACK'S DICK?
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>92032691
P Craig please

>>92031736
Major snubs:
>Best limited series: Supergirl- Being Super, Klaus
>Best new series: Shade, Doom Patrol, New Superman, Flintstones
>Best writer: Tom King, Donny Coates
>Best artist: Chris Samnee, Liam Sharp, Juan Ferreyra, Doc Shaner (all of these are better than Stelfreeze)

This is a shitfest, as usual
At least based Priest gets some recognition

>>92032290
Lemire's OML was GOAT and his Moon Knight is miles ahead of King's Batman.

Saga was never that good, WSG was meh, Paper Girls is Vaughan stealing Chiang from DC. Vaughan doesn't deserve to be mentioned on here. He isn't even the best Indy writer right now.

>>92032042
It's on there, and not canceled, and actually good. Is Black Hammer any good?

>>92032270
Didn't faith get one.

>>92031813

>Liu Solo

Minority Nom, calling it.

>King's Vision

So was this a limited series. I thought it was cancelled because he became exclusive.

>>92031877
Monstress is good and I'm glad it was nominated for something but the first issue had child murder and cannibalism.

>>92032693
It got a big hardcover in 2016, so that might be the loophole

>No Flintsones
At least Deathstroke got nominated.

>>92032751
>Is Black Hammer any good?
I like it

>>92032785
Teens can handle a little child murder and cannibalism

>>92031832

Priest's Deathstroke is great. But does this list feel like a huge middle finger to DC Rebirth?

And speaking of middle fingers, no Gwenpool?

>>92032691
Yeah definitely those picks, maybe P. Craig instead of Simsonon? Not sure

>>92032734
No Young Animal mentions at all is shocking. DP and Shade some of the best comics of recent years, never mind 2017.

Donny Cates' books are only really starting now, but he's definitely a safe bet for the noms next year

Samnee and Shaner are a crime to omit

>>92031832
Mockingbird. Why, in the name of hell is that aborted mess here? And fucking Faith from Valiant. Not Stalinverse or Bloodshot reborn.

>>92032751
Black hammer is an indie cape comic done superbly.

>>92032070
Kingfags are a plague.

>>92032751
>Didn't faith get one.
Yeah, forgot Valiant publishes that.

>>92032818
>No Young Animals...best

No, they aren't. But they are Eisner bait. They should be on here.

>>92032785
I don't get the praise for that book. It's a generic edgy fantasy and those are worse than generic fantasy. Art fucking rocks though.

>>92032734
Seriously. Samnee, Ferreyra, even Ramon Perez (Nova) are all superb. Not seeing Doc Shaner or Stokoe is disheartening

>>92032734

Supergirl being SJW; shit and you are for liking it.

DCYou; gets BTFO

Oh goody, someone whining about King. Yaaasss Queen.

>>92032786
That's bullshit. Motherfucker got 3 nominations without it and committee was like "lol, not enough."

>>92032971
What?

Guess Henderson being nominated for best artist wasn't a one-off, the Eisners are now poz'd.

>>92032227
>I'll be sad if /co/ focuses on only the major categories being filled with trash, and writes off the Eisners entirely.
I mean it's already happening, so.

>>92032691
I'm still waiting for Mignola to get in.

Just like your taste.

>>92033186
Welcome to industry wide Awards.

>>92033186
What are your problems with each category? Pretty much every non floppy focused award has a great selection.

>>92032660
New Super-Man is better than Superman and Mighty Thor...

>>92033146
Milt Gross just barely got selected, it takes a long time for people to get in.

>>92032736
>Lemire's OML was GOAT and his Moon Knight is miles ahead of King's Batman.

And Tom King's Vision, Omega Men, and Sheriff of Babylon were better than OML and Moon Knight. But that's not my point, if writing something less good (Batman) was enough to keep King off best writer, writing Extraordinary X-Men should be more than enough to keep Lemire off. Especially since King's best in the same time frame is better than Lemire's best.

>>92032734
>>92032818
>>92032922
Isn't this for the 2016 calendar year? So the Young Animal comics would have just had a couple issues each.

This is a pleasant surprise. Mockbird is probably going to win though,. Jesus, the Eisners are such a fucking joke.

>>92033356
>These inductees are Milt Gross (early newspaper cartoonist known for such strips as Count Screwloose of Tooloose, Nize Baby, and That's My Pop!), H. G. Peter (original Wonder Woman artist), Antonio Prohias (creator of MAD’s “Spy vs. Spy”), and Dori Seda (pioneering autobiographical underground cartoonist).

>>92033400
I think those are the judges' choices, there'll be four more that are voted on, I guess we won't know those until comic-con

>mfw King and Finch win
Not that they will

>>92033463
Theyre listed here >>92032691

The best form of protest would be to go to the Eisners with some kind of loud-ass stereo system, boombox, or ghetto blaster and play an endless loop of the Flintstones theme song until somebody gets kicked out.

>>92032815
Rebirth is generic as fuck, nothing from it except Deathstroke deserves to be on it. not that fucking Mockingbird deserves to be there either.

>>92032691
It would be nice if they inducted the Hernandezes as one person, four people is way too few as it is.

I wouldn't be surprised if Bagge found a way in there but he's the only one I can see usurping that four. Seeing Roberta Gregory get a nod is amazing, in my opinion the greatest female cartoonist of all time, she gets the craft of cartooning in ways that only a handful of people of any gender do

>>92032691

Staples and Larfleeze don't deserve to be nominated. Ferreyra, Del Mundo, Nguyen should be there.

>>92032105
Le Loughridge not being nominated for Best Coloring feels like a joke. A bad joke.

>>92033780
It's written by a fucking white male and it's about a fucking white male.

>>92033330

Okay, fuck off. We are talking about present time. So take your copy of Omega Men you jerking off with and dump it in the stack you bought to boost sales.

I'd take anything by Lemire over King's autistic speech patterns and decompressed plots. Vision was the best book you named and OML was miles ahead of it.

Kingfags. The worst fans in the industry. There's your award. I'll send it to your lord King along with a picture of a turd.

>>92032660
Hey now, Aaron's early Thor was magnificent and beloved by all, it deserves a nomination even if it doesn't an award. It's alright friend.
I am strongly butthurt about the lack of Flintstones nominations or Harrow County.

>I'll be sad if /co/ focuses on only the major categories being filled with trash, and writes off the Eisners entirely.

It was the squirrel girl nomination for art that got my attention, and made me question exactly what these nominations and awards mean.

>>92033273
Much of that shit doesn't get posted here at all. Maybe the more dedicated storytimers should do some of the candidates.

>>92033968
I like Lemire but OML is a piece of shit. Fuck off.

>>92033992
Oh, and Moon Knight; Rumble for at least the beautiful artstyle if not for the horrific story.

Okay, don't shoot. Does Suicide squad deserve to be considered for new series? Great art with Jim Lee. Well written. It's clearly at the top of the Rebirth pack.

>>92033947
>a fucking
>not "fucking a"
FTFY

>>92034082
old jimbo was only doing half issues though

>>92034082
Nah, Synergy Squad isn't any good and Jim Lee is trash. But the Captain Boomerang back up should've been nominated in "Short Story".

>>92034004

Hate modern Marvel. I only buy OML and Gwenpool. I'm a DCfag. King's Batman is terrible. If I was a Marvelfag I'd sigh feeling relief that Marvel dodged a bends sized bullet.

>>92034004

Does that mean it can't be nominated for a category, it just feels weird that it didn't get a nod.

>>92034115
You don't like Lee's body of work? I thinks he's evolved, more than any artistic contemporary.

>>92034014
>Much of that shit doesn't get posted here at all. Maybe the more dedicated storytimers should do some of the candidates.
Not gonna happen when these things don't even get scanned, these also aren't even that obscure, Amazon sells pretty much everything posted in this thread sans some of the one shot noms

>>92034129
>I only buy OML and Gwenpool. I'm a DCfag
Make up your mind.

>>92034132
Aaron's Thor run is a ripoff of Dan Jurgens'.

>>92034397
Oh, that run.
Because of Gorr?

>>92034409
And many more things.

>>92034228
>more than any artistic contemporary.
Capullo has evolved a lot, although not as much as Lee. Romita is the right answer here.

>>92034435
Fairnuff, even if everything the big two does is rehashing old stories

>>92034463
Capullo completely changed his style. Howard Porter too. Lee improved, but his style is still there somewhere. Romita got worse through the years and his style is still kind of there.

>>92033968
Taking that Lemire criticism a little personally, friend? Omega Men ended around the middle of 2016 and got a collected release later in the year, it's fitting for a "present time" discussion. What is it about a single mention of that comic that bothers you so much?

>decompressed plots
I wonder how you stay a Lemire fan if that bothers you. I like Descender, but it's as decompressed as anything King has written.

>>92031832
>Deathstroke
good shit
>Faith and Mockingbird

>>92034841
Spencer pls

>>92034866
Spencer is also trash when he's not with Lieber

>>92034568
Romita really got his shit together for Last Crusade and All-Star Batman

>>92034082
Skwad doesn't even come in the neighborhood of Deathstroke and Green Arrow. It's more on the lower end of the middle.

WE STAND ON GUARD was apparently removed from the list according to Dave Harper

The only good comic in the limited series catagory is Vision. We Stand on Guard is an especially crap comic

>>92034953
Yeah but my point still stands.

>>92034997
Good, shouldn't have been there in the first place.

now all we need is Faith and Mockingbird to get removed and Flintstones to get put on

>>92034997
>>92035091
>>92035123
Why was it removed?

Oh man, Parker and Shaner seem really disappointed that they were not nominated. Even Steve Pugh made a half sarcastic/half disappointed tweet. Hannah Barbera deserved at least a nomination, Pugh and Shaner did fantastic work there. Such a fucking shame.

>>92035154
It came out in 2015, not 2016.

It got a hardcover deluxe printing in 2016, but still had the 2015 material

>>92035154
Shit came out in 2015.

M-maybe they'll nominate Flintstones. Right guys?

>>92035174
Yeah I saw Shaner's tweets, pretty disheartening.

>>92034997
LMAO they wanted to suck Vaughan's dick so much, they didn't even care it was ineligible

>>92035174
he liked a tweet that called it rigged, he definitely isn't happy about it

>>92034928
I'm starting to think Lieber ghostwrote the books.

Just be glad the category this year isn't stacked with already notable print artists dabbling in digital web shorts or gigantic comedy strips you'd find shared on your Facebook feed.

Ah yes real clever I haven't read most stories in a medium that pumps out 100+ comics a week therefore I am illiterate.

>>92032815
No, Deathstroke is the only thing worth reading from Rebirth.

>>92031768
Your Black Friend was choice. That was great shit form shortbox.

>>92031768
If Sir Alfred or Blammo don't win, this is bs

Roughly as terrible as last year's list. These are always such hot garbage.

>>92038070
Las year was worse.

>all that BKV dicksucking
Look, it's okay to admit he put out good work at one point, but he doesn't anymore. It'd be like giving current Mark Waid or Bendis awards for the garbage they put out. Granted, BKV's merely churning out mediocre slop rather than offensively terrible trash like those two, but it's not okay to keep rewarding him for dutifully collecting his paycheck.

>>92038070
Didn't Lumberjanes win something last year?
Or was that the year before??

>>92039732
2015 Best new series and also the teens category.

Beating out The Fade Out by Brubaker and Philips, Ms Marvel, The scottie young rocket racoon solo, and the wicked and the divine in new books.

>>92039916
Given that competition it's not so scandalous, but those are some bad nominees.
