Each year, people unite to decide what were the best comics achievements. They call it the Eisners and it’s going to happen pretty soon. Here’s this year nomination list. The good surprise is that there’s a lot of european comics, specifically french comics (Sfar, Trondheim, David B, Larcenet…). One of them is bound to get a price, the Best U.S. Edition of Foreign Material alone features 4 french nominees for 5 total.
A part from that, it looks like there are the usual, Chris Ware, Alan Moore, Warren Ellis, Brian K. Vaughan, Grant Morrison and even a small appearance of Clowes (Best Graphic Album—Reprint).
I’m rooting for Top 10: The forty niners this year.
