Alright, I'm putting you on the spot. What shit is up for awards, that hasn't been storytimed here, that is SO fucking awesome that it will make my pants expode?

Failing a full explosion, the title or two that will leave the most wood in my shorts.

Jeff Lemire, Black Hammer (Dark Horse); Descender, Plutona (Image); Bloodshot Reborn (Valiant)

Much like the Oscars, things that people enjoy a d rave about (say Rebirth Superman ) are ignored and pretentious hipster trash that sneers at fun Super hero comics wins.

Box Brown, Tetris: The Games People Play (First Second)

>>94056937
It's because superhero comics are genuinely shit. A superhero comic winning an award would e like giving a McDonald's five Michelin Stars. You can enjoy cheap assembly line entertainment but at some point you're going to have to accept that it's not art.

>>94056937
Tomasi is a shitty writer
but Yang should've been nominated

Best U.S. Edition of International Material

Equinoxes, by Cyril Pedrosa, translated by Joe Johnson (NBM)
Irmina, by Barbara Yelin, translated by Michael Waaler (SelfMadeHero)
Love: The Lion, by Frédéric Brémaud and Federico Bertolucci (Magnetic)
>Moebius Library: The World of Edena, by Jean “Moebius” Giraud et al. (Dark Horse)
Wrinkles, by Paco Roca, translated by Erica Mena (Fantagraphics)

>>94056937
I get that, but they should at least be nominating the BEST quality hipster trash.

>>94057021
And the capeshit that DOES get nominated is complete garbage. Mockingbird for best writing?

>>94057072
>>94057072
>Creepax wasn't nominated
why

>>94057021
>implying capeshit artists have not won for art countless times

>>94057096
it was more creative than Rebirth Superman

Best U.S. Edition of International Material—Asia

>The Art of Charlie Chan Hock Chye, by Sonny Liew (Pantheon)

Yuge! 30 Years of Doonesbury on Trump, by G. B. Trudeau (Andrews McMeel)

>>94057021
you wouldn't know art if it fucked your mother

Shade not getting nominated for anything proves the Eisners are a farce

>>94057021
Boy you sure do sound like a pretentious hipster. Real success is a panel of people giving you a cheaply made plaque. Real success isn't creating something widely consumed and loved by hundreds of thousands.

>>94056877
Busiek should win but I bet it's going to go to BKV

>>94057139
Issue 7 of Rebirth Superman is probably the best, most genuinely Superman comic in a decade.

>>94057291
>not Superman Beyond 3D #2

casual pls

>>94057291
New Super-Man #7 is better
Keatinge's Adventures of Superman #16 is better
read more books

The Bill Finger Excellence in Comics Writing Award goes to William Mesner-Loeb & Jack Kirby

>>94057329
that's awesome
maybe DC will reprint some of Messner-Loebs' Flash
>never get an omnibus of Jonny Quest and Jezebel Jade

What order are they announcing these in?

>>94056614
This one is fine. Clean Room has some great lettering, but I would have preferred an independent cartoonist like Gauld or Evens get it.
>>94056877
Based on the books listed, should have been Brubaker, possibly Busiek or Lemire.
>>94056974
Del Mundo was robbed.

Saga is a good comic, but it doesn't deserve to win for its 2016 issues.

>>94057594
>blanc et noir: takeshi obata illustrations, by Takeshi Obata (VIZ Media)
Why was the Death Note artbook nominated? Did literally no other book related to comics come out?

Best Coloring

Jean-Francois Beaulieu, Green Valley (Image/Skybound)
Elizabeth Breitweiser, Criminal 10th Anniversary Special, Kill or Be Killed, Velvet (Image); Outcast by Kirkman & Azaceta (Image/Skybound)

>Matt Wilson, Cry Havoc, Paper Girls, The Wicked + The Divine (Image); Black Widow, The Mighty Thor, Star-Lord (Marvel)

>>94057893
Better yet why the fuck is it coming out now? I bought the Japanese one nearly a decade ago, back when Death Note was still hip and new.

My money's on Saga winning best comic again.

Wait, no, that's the CBR Top 100. Never mind.

Best Painter/Multimedia Artist (interior art)

Federico Bertolucci, Love: The Lion (Magnetic)
Brecht Evens, Panther (Drawn & Quarterly)

These awards are bullshit, but I hope Tom King wins his category.

>>94057974
True Amazon was quite pretty

The Bob Clampett Humanitarian Award goes to Joe Ferrera

>>94056974
>>94057871
Is Fiona Staples like the "I win" button for the Eisners? How many does she have at this point? It's a little embarrassing how eager they are to suck her dick.

>>94058083
>These awards are bullshit
Please explain to me what's wrong with "The Art of Charlie Chan Hock Chye", "Moebius Library: The World of Edena" and "Krazy: George Herriman, A Life in Black and White".

Second Bob Clampett Humanitarian award goes to Marc Andreyko

>>94058196
That's like saying the Oscars are okay because their sound editing picks are on point. One or two categories doesn't excuse an overall pattern of stupidity.

>>94058183
I think it's more that the Eisners appear to go towards more mainstream/popular candidates rather than taking in everything at face value.

It's how "The Flintstones" was given the shaft.

>>94058225
Best Writer/Artist isn't an important category to you?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAA

>>94058442
Who?

>>94058467
The #1 best-selling creator in American comics at the moment.

Milt Gross inducted into the Eisner Hall of Fame

>>94058467
Makes OGN's targeted at tweens that sell INSANELY well.

She's secretly the biggest success in comics.

H.G. Peter also inducted into the Eisner Hall of Fame

>>94058585
Is her shit any good?

>>94058448
I have an urge to make a list, showing the best artists who have never won an eisner, next to SG.

>>94058384
Feminist, SJW bullshit ruins another pop culture fandom.

Antonio Prohias and Dori Seda also inducted into the Hall of Fame

>>94058448
Pretty sure teens don't really like Squirrel Girl, seems like more of a kids thing honestly

>>94058613
thats the spy vs spy dude right? heard he made a really great graphic novel.

>>94058640
Yes.

Here's one of them:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/4jbdg4cm4bp4icv/Smile+%282010%29+%28repack%29.cbz

>>94058585
It's only a secret on /co/, where people don't know jack shit about comics.

>>94058640
The books are fine.
They're all just slice-of-life stories about being a young girl, even the one with ghosts running around.
Two were autobiographical.

She also did a few Babysitters Club adaptations and wrote a retarded X-Men "manga."

>>94058725
No, he's THE Golden Age Wonder Woman artist.

>>94058754
oh my bad, got confused by a live blog im reading on the ceremony, It's Prohias and he just said something of when he and aragones where at Mad.

le mediocre white man

First Eisner Hall of Fame Inductee chosen by the voters is Gilbert Hernandez

>>94058858
I don't understand how they can induct one but not the other.

Next Hall of Fame Inductee is Jaime Hernandez

>>94058876
>>94058939
Much better.

I wonder who would win a /co/ comics award? What artist, what writer, what comic, what best new character, what webcomic, colorist, letterer, best adult webcomic, etc. There would probably also be negative awards too, like worst comic, worst writer, worst webcomic, etc.

>>94058969
it would be a nightmare, 4 passable comics, 20 mediocre ones and bones/whoever flavor of the month comes around

Next person to be inducted into the hall of fame is George Pérez

>>94058969
Daily Reminder that we already tried out The /co/ Awards.

Daily Reminder that /co/ voted Forever Evil as the Best Graphic Novel of 2013.

The fourth hall of fame recipient is Walter Simonson

Next Hall of Fame Inductee is Jim Starlin

The Will Eisner Spirit of Comics Retailer Award goes to Comicazi in Sommerville, MA

“Mostly Saturn,” by Michael DeForge, in Island Magazine #8 (Image)
“Shrine of the Monkey God!” by Kim Deitch, in Kramers Ergot 9 (Fantagraphics)

>>94059033
To be fair, the person who made it gave 0 shits about the comics categories and grouped all sorts of dumb shit together, so limited series were competing against OGNs were competing against trades. Not entirely the voters' fault.

Best Single Issue/One-Shot

Babybel Wax Bodysuit, by Eric Kostiuk Williams (Retrofit/Big Planet)
>Beasts of Burden: What the Cat Dragged In, by Evan Dorkin, Sarah Dyer, and Jill Thompson (Dark Horse)

>Love Is Love, edited by Sarah Gaydos and Jamie S. Rich (IDW/DC)
Spanish Fever: Stories by the New Spanish Cartoonists, edited by Santiago Garcia (Fantagraphics)

>>94059862
While I appreciate the sentiment behind Love is Love, it's honestly so bad that it's probably Storytime of Pain worthy.

>>94059814
I haven't read BoB in years, I'm always scared that I'll never stop crying if I do.

The Russ Manning Promising Newcomer Award goes to Anne Szabla

>>94059875
I would not call it complete SOP worthy like the best part of that book is the bit with Extrano, but that Deathstroke story is one of the most tone deaf things I've ever seen in comics.

Best New Series

>Black Hammer, by Jeff Lemire and Dean Ormston (Dark Horse)
Clean Room, by Gail Simone and Jon Davis-Hunt (Vertigo/DC)
Deathstroke: Rebirth, by Christopher Priest, Carlo Pagulayan, et al. (DC)

Mockingbird, by Chelsea Cain and Kate Niemczyk (Marvel)

Briggs Land, by Brian Wood and Mack Chater (Dark Horse)

Kim and Kim, by Magdalene Visaggio and Eva Cabrera (Black Mask)
>The Vision, by Tom King and Gabriel Walta (Marvel)

>>94059738
>>94059862
Literally every other nomination was better.

>>94059984
>Half of /co/ just relaxed, thinking "at least it wasn't Mockingbird
>The other half got angry that it was not Deathstroke

>>94059984
Kind of a weak set of nominees. Black Hammer is the best of those and it's nice to see Clean Room get at least a little love before it's cancelled though.

Best Continuing Series

Astro City, by Kurt Busiek and Brent Anderson (Vertigo/DC)
Kill or Be Killed, by Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips (Image)
The Mighty Thor, by Jason Aaron and Russell Dauterman (Marvel)
Paper Girls, by Brian K. Vaughan and Cliff Chiang (Image)

>>94060049

Kill or be killed robbed.

Saga has dropped in quality

>>94060008
Oh man, im friends with the mexican girls who did the kim thing, although the art could be better i'm sad some superhero crap won that one

Flintstones was shut out so I don't care.

She’s Not into Poetry, by Tom Hart (Alternative)

>>94060100
>some superhero crap
lel

>>94056937
Superman rebirth is genuinely mediocre and forgettable. The characters are all one dimensional and the Tomasi can't plot for shit. Just because a few people on /co/ like bland and comfy books, doesn't make it any good. They already nominated the only Rebirth book worth reading.

>>94060078

Saga's the fucking Kelsey Grammer of this shit. They just need to show up

>>94056974
Del Mundo got robbed jeez. Staples is probably at the bottom of this list

>>94056877

How did Max Landis get near this list? Is American Alien actually good and you guys have been lying to me?

Best Reality-Based Work

Dark Night: A True Batman Story, by Paul Dini and Eduardo Risso (Vertigo/DC)
Glenn Gould: A Life Off Tempo, by Sandrine Revel (NBM)
>March (Book Three), by John Lewis, Andrew Aydin, and Nate Powell (Top Shelf)
Rosalie Lightning: A Graphic Memoir, by Tom Hart (St. Martin’s)
Tetris: The Games People Play, by Box Brown (First Second)

>>94056877
Brubaker deserves it

>>94060078
Kill or Be Killed should have been in the New category anyway. Eisners are retarded bullshit.

>>94060187
Yeah I think I would easily put her at the bottom of that list. I dunno how /co/ feels about David Mack's covers but I fucking love them. Del Mundo also fantastic and more than acceptable.

>>94057871
I like Fiona, but the award should have gone to Schuiten.

>>94059738
>>94060008
I figured King would win both the ones he was nominated for. Vision was the obvious choice, but I think Good Boy deserved it too.
>>94059984
I slightly prefer Deathstroke but this isn't a bad choice at all.
>>94056877
>>94060049
How does he keep winning these? Saga wasn't particularly strong in 2016.
>>94057192
>>94058448
What the hell?

>>94058448
Paper Girls should have won

>>94057974
I like Thompson, but McKean should've won

Thanks for sharing.

>>94060377

Providence didn't even get nominated for anything?

Might as well rename these the Saga Awards next year. Or the Vaughn Awards. Take your pick.

>>94060435
>expecting a quality book to be nominated for an Eisner

>>94060435
Any award show has it's politics.

Literally who 80's underground comix author

>>94058448
Related storytime of pain tomorrow.

>>94060451
Kek. The comic book medium should deserve an equivalent Razzie award.

>>94060100
I read a storytime of Kim and Kim and it was one of the worst comics of the year.

>>94059875
>>94059966
I think it's a borderline case, like the 9/11 tribute comics.

My favorite was how HARD they avoided talking about islam, and how they could barely control themselves with their no politics rule. They ended up literally blaming rednecks and christfags for the Pulse.

>>94059984
For those keeping track, Christopher Priest 1 nomination, zero wins. Erica Henderson, 4 nominations 2 wins.

>>94060209
He's been dong the same shit for 10 years.

>>94056877
What the fuck is Landis doing there?

>>94059862
pure cancer, Kramers Ergot should have won.

How the fuck did Flintstones not get a single nomination?

The important question is...
Is there another comic award with more credibility than the fucking Eisners?

>>94060639
>Never heard of him
(You)

Liew was the artist on most issues of the DCYou Doctor Fate run, and Klein is well-known in his field.

>Staples
>good choice
Pick one.

>>94060668
Harveys

>>94060321
How did this win over the rest?

>>94060569
And?

Typical /co/mrade proud of their own ignorance.

>>94060668
Ignatz

Should've won. Better than Black Hole. Demon was... eh.

>>94057148
I'm happy for Sonny Lies but that won it's category, this should've went to Punpun.

But this time with Valiant shilling with no results of value.

I really hope our generation would reflect back on this piece of shit comic winning everything and then discrediting the Eisner forever.

>>94060377
>30
BKV is a gift to comics industry and we have to suck his dick as much as possible.

>>94060929
>implying a Moonlight or Harvey at Miss Universe moment happened there

>>94060435
It's by Avatar press, they only nominate American published works.

>>94061002
>implying Avatar is not based in US

Reminder that Grant Morrison, /co/'s favourite writer, has 0 Eisners.

>>94061014
Are they? I was under the impression that they were a UK publication.

>>94061030
He has 3 for All Star Superman and 1 for Seven Soldiers.

>>94061030
I feel like he should probably have one but at the same time I can't think of a time where he had the best comic in a given year. Maybe he could have gotten one for Animal Man.

>>94061098
No, they just publish a lot of vanity projects by British writers

>>94061121
None of them are for best writer.
>>94061136
It's not really about writing the best book now is it? He's one of if not the most prolific writer of our generation. But then again, Kubrick never won an Oscar.

So who has the most Eisners total? BKV and Fiona Staples have been cleaning house since Saga's inception, and I know that Dave Stuart has a lockdown on the colorist category.

>>94061224
Moore probably.

>>94061224
Chris Ware has 23 and Alan Moore 24.

>>94061272
Both deserve it tbqh

>>94061272
Actually pretty good results. I personally find Chris Ware more ambitious than endearing, but it is a style I can understand people liking.

>>94061272
nice

>>94061272
Todd Klein has to be up there high too.
Wikipedia is outdated but:
>As of 2011, Klein has won 16 of the 19 "Best Letterer/Lettering" Eisner Awards that have been given out since the category was established in 1993.

I really hope Steve Wands gets nominated next year for best lettering. After Death had fantastic lettering. Has he won in the past?

>>94061419
Lettering is a super underrated aspect of the medium. I think Stan Sakai has won one of the three Klein didn't win.

>>94057974
McKean losing to ANYBODY is a goddamned travesty

>>94061224
How many does BKV have? How bout Bendis?

>>94061497
Ware won lettering in 2009 and 2013, Mazzucchelli in 2010, Sakai in 2012 and 2015, Cooke in 2014 and Derf in 2016.
>>94061709
Bendis has 5.

>>94061721
>Bendis has 5.
Yeah industry really memed him into acclaim and popularity in the early 2000s.

>>94061136
How would he not have the best comic in a given year if his comics won best comic awards?

>>94059738
Fucking shit. DeForge should have easily won that.

>>94060260
and while I agree that comic came out in 2008 and see no reason for it to be nominated
if you're gonna do translations and reprints in those categories I don't see why you'd even nominate things from the current year anymore

>>94061121
>>94061721
Morronsonfags btfo. British Invasion fags in general probably btfo too. Gaiman probably weaseled his gay ass into a few and Moore got memed into a lot and he probably got 10 for Watchmen alone but the rest of these shitters are probably at 0. Except maybe Ellis having a few too, deservedly.

>>94057192
Where's the Fix?

>>94056877
Lemire or Busiek
>>94056945
Gauld or Brown
>>94059814
Van Sciver or Hensley
>>94059862
Kramers Ergot 9 or Island
>>94060116
Burns or Darcy
>>94060321
anyone but Wonder Woman

these awards are retarded
I don't understand why Saga/BKVs weird fetish stuff gets praised while Millar's Huck/Reborn/Empress/Jupiter's Legacy get ignored

>>94058640
pretty much every one of those crazy talented japanese artist except otomo and samura

>>94057228
this

>>94062815
>thinking that nuMillar deserves to be in such an abortion of an award

>>94062796
>Except maybe Ellis having a few too, deservedly.

He doesn't have any Eisners. Garth Ennis has five Eisner Awards, though.

>>94062911
it's the same edgy but feel good garbage BKV is putting out
but fuck me if I enjoy Immonen, Quitely and Parlov more than Staples artwork right?

>>94060078
Saga has been shit for a long time. I can understand it being nominated, but actually winning the award? That's just sad

>>94062996
>>94062796

Neil Gaiman: 16 Eisner awards
Alan Moore: 10 Eisner awards
Garth Ennis: 5 Eisner awards
Grant Morrison: 4 Eisner awards
Warren Ellis: 0 Eisner awards
Mark Millar: 0 Eisner awards

>>94063082
Peter Milligan: -1
HAHAHAHAHAHA

>>94056974
I like Staples art but jesus everyone else in that category deserved it more than her.
>>94057329
I'm still mad the Kamandi omnibus got cancelled
>>94059011
Fuck yeah, Perez is one of my favourite artists along with Kirby and Cooke
>>94060206
Damn I was hoping for Paul Dini
>>94060639
Holy shit stay away from /co/ from now on.

>>94063082
>Neil Gaiman: 16 Eisner awards
>Alan Moore: 10 Eisner awards
Are they for best writers or what? How did you come to those numbers?

>>94057924
I'm glad wilson won this one, he's been killing it lately
can't give it to stewart every year anyway

>>94056877
>>94056974
>>94057871
>>94060049
>The Eisner's continue to wank off Saga.

Predictable as hell, but still dissapointing. Its the definition of style over substance, and the style stops being interesting once you've read better and more coherent sci-fi comics.

>>94064252
the gaiman ones are writer, continuing story, single issues, short stories, best ogn and a few for shit like absolute sandman which I don't know if it's really for him
same for alan moore, most of it is for writing in their dozens of categories

>>94057924
Laura Martin is hardly even "good". Her coloring in Wonder Woman especially is shit, everyone else did a better job coloring there.

>>94064343
Moore has around 24 when you count the awards his reprints get.

>>94064352
Matt Hollingsworth was a good choice there but if you really needed a woman, why not nominate Bellaire or Mrs. Allred? I don't actually know any good contemporary woman colorist outside of Bellaire, Chung, Allred and Breitweiser.

>>94056877
Look on the bright side. At least Chelsea Cain did not win.
On the other hand she was nominated in the first place and that's sad.

>>94064593
Bellaire would've been better but she's the weakest of the ones you listed.

>>94058448
I have read about 5 issues of batgirl and none of that other shit and feel I can say with confidence everything else on that list deserved it more.

>>94059862
Look on the bright side. At least dc won something.

Wait why the fuck was flintstones shafted?

>>94060008
I am glad vision got recognition but I really don't think stealth minis should count.

>>94060157
Enjoy

>>94060195
american alien was mediocre

superman for all seasons was better

>>94059984
You cannot be serious with this list.

>>94065112
Aside from Faith and Mockingbird it's a good list. It's probably the best list of nominations this year.

>Staple gets Best Cover Artist over Mundo

Is this the biggest steal? Mundo has put out nothing but some of the most conceptually impressive and beautifully executed covers in comics for a few years now.

Saga's are utterly forgettable and bland, Staples was never as good as people make her out to be

>>94057924
REEEEEEEEEE

>BETTIE BREITWEISSER IS MUCH BETTER
>Hollingsworth not even nominated

RRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>94058467
Comics in Scholastic sell rather well to kids and school Libraries. That's why Squirrel Girl and Moon Girl are kept afloat despite their floppy sales being abysmal.

If only Marvel got some more deserving shit on there.

>>94056877
How come King isn't nominated here if he wrote the best limuted series, best short story and two other critically acclaimed series? How are Landis and Cain nominated despite writing one total series each? How can they justify this?

>>94065112
What would you add?

>>94063082
Millar has won an Eisner for his Authority.

Is Priest's category over? Did he lose?

>>94062815
LOL Huck, Empress and Reborn were seriously shit. How do Millar fags keep defending his bland ass comics?

>>94066726
He lost it to Black Hammer.

Well, at least Mockingbird didn't win.

It should have been Flintstones, though.

>>94067397
Flintstones will be up next year, the Eisners always have had odd eligibility times/requirements , people always cry about shit that gets left off and ends up on next year, like with The Vision

>>94067432
If that's true, then here's hoping it wins.
Also, I'd love to see what those eligibility requirements are.

>>94066317
They didn't care about the other nominees anyway, just an excuse to hand out more awards to BKV

>>94063082
>Neil Gaiman: 16 Eisner awards
based!

>>94061691
This so much

>>94057974
Panther is one of the most beautiful comics released in the past few years, I recommend anyone to go track a copy down, no idea if it was ever scanned though
