>In 2013 Saga won the three Eisner Awards it was nominated

ok

lol you really want me to go dredge up modern literary awards? The Eisners, like all popular awards ceremonies, are a joke.

Comic awards, like all industry awards, is far more industry politics than an actual measure of quality. Saga was the first non-cape book in a while to get a wide casual audience and hyped up as the start of a new era in comics. Its more marketing than it was actual substance, but thats the story for a lot of winners.

Though getting both best continuing and best new in the same year is bullshit even by Eisner standards.

Vaughan is trash, and people who nominate him are trash.

>t. only reads modernist books about depressed white suburban guys contemplating suicide

>>95110555

How did this get so popular? There are countless other graphic novels out there and yet this is the one that got people hooked?

Saga has always been a hit with me. Hey, /lit/ go home I don't care about your opinion.

>thinking your opinion is a testament to a work's quality

Didn't the stick figures "comic" that's just an animation on pages won and a gay parody short story also won?

Don't pay too much attention on awards

>Is this really what's considered quality writing in comicbook world?
Only by retards. Normies see the comic and go "Eeegad! There is penises and gore and swearing in this book! It is as smart and mature as me!". It's the same with Game of Thrones.

It was the return of BKV to comics, got a lot of press and media support hyping it up, and for the most part it lived up to the hype while also releasing at a time where comics had a lot of buzz and were seeing an upswing in new readers.

Does the Endwife (who oddly enough is NOT unnattractive...help me) do what I THINK she does with the aborted babies?

The Eisner Awards has been a joke for a while now.

Fucking Flintstones was snubbed

this was just the hipster race mix pamphlet that the culture police approved

You should read the Flinstones comic for what impresses /co/ in 2017.
No, I'm not kidding. Yaba daba doo, that Flinstones. That's what you're looking for.
