Not for nothing is their motto TGIF – ‘Thank God It’s Friday.’ They live for the weekends, when they can go do what they really want to do.

Surprised that no one here has mentioned “Chew” as a potential winner for Best New Series. I hope it wins. Irredeemable is nice, but just another spin on Superman. Chew is comparatively new and fresh, and would be rewarding new-ish talent and new-ish ideas instead of the same ol same ol.

great list of nominees. some standards, some nice surprises, a few omissions i think would be well served, but that’s all par for the course. giggling maniacally that Robinson got nominated for Cry for Justice. feel like dancing a jig on the whining fanboys bitching about it all the time. JUSTICE! hehehe…;)

Maybe I’m missing something about the way nominations work, but I must say I’m rather surprised Ivan Reis isn’t nominated. Dude rules. The other nominees are quite good, though, and deserving.

How they can leave Footnotes in Gaza out from Best Graphic Album – New is completely beyond me.

I predict…

Irredeemable will definitely win best new series but not best ongoing which will go to Fables

Geoff Johns will take best writer for sure, this is his year

J.H.Williams will win best cover

i would like JMS B&B to win best single but is most likely to be for The Unwritten

and Best limited will go to either to Blackest Night or Old Man Logan

Robinson definitely should not have been nominated, much less for a piece of garbage like C4J

WTF!!! No Marko Djurdjevic for Best Cover Artist? Shame.

Peace.

I have some likes and I have some dislikes for this years Eisner lineups.

I am glad to see that Straczynski’s Brave and Bold made the single issue list, however I think they got the wrong one nominated. Brave and Bold #29 was clearly the best issue of his run, but JMS is in the running so I can’t complain.

Captain America #601 was good, but I don’t see it as Eisner worthy. I really think that spot should have gone to Detective Comics #853, how the hell did the judges overlook that masterpiece.

And if you ever needed proof that there is no god, here it is: James Robinson for Best Writer. His Superman stuff was crap, and Cry for Justice was worse than Loeb. How do the judges sleep at night knowing they nominated James Robinson for best writer?

Why is Ivan Reis not on this list for Best Penciller?!!!

A couple of quick sins and omissions:

Sin: Robinson being nominated as a wrtier for ‘Cry For Justice’ instead of…

Omission: …his Superman work.

Sin: Mauro Cascioli, for the same mini. While his art was beautiful, it was incomplete– woefully so, inasmuch as he missed out on just how much of the series? With all due respect, the fact that he couldn’t complete the series for which he was nominated doesn’t sit well with me.

Omission: John Cassaday, ‘Planetary #27′. Giving him the cover nod was nice enough (again, for the wrong issues in my personal opinion), but a nod for him as artist would be more than worthy. (If JHW3 can get nods for both– very well deserved for what he did– then so can Cassaday.)

Omission: No Wednesday Comics, the most ambitious project not just from the Big Two, but by any company in a number of years.

Sin: That the set of writers nominated can’t tie for the award. In a year with so many outstanding stories amidst a couple of phenomenal events, the fact that Brubarker’s Cap, Johns’ Adventure, Waid’s Irredeemable, Willingham’s Fables, and Robinson’s Superman can’t all win is a modest tragedy.

Omission: The mothership not getting a nod for best periodical. Call me a homer, but the ‘Rama is the portal site to so many others, many of which we’d not normally read without the links and trackbacks.

Robinson is pretty good but they should give him the nomination for Superman instead. And why isn’t Wednesday Comics on this list?

“Unknown Soldier” is the best series on the shelves. No question. And no nod to it or Joshua Dysart? Guess they had to throw James Robinson up there….

I hope The Unwritten takes home some Eisners. Also J.H. Williams III for those Detective issues.

How is ‘Wonderful Wizard of Oz’ nominated as one of the best LS of the year, but not one of the best adapted works?

What happened to Ivan Reis as best artist? Simply an atrocity.

Ugh.

James Robinson nominated for best writer? Ridiculous.

And Fables getting nominations all over the place despite having quite possibly the worst year it’s ever seen, including that horrific crossover?

Whatever.

No nods for Wednesday Comics???

Now I’m curious.
To all those who were defending robinson from the vociferous critics of JUSTICE!!, was this series Eisner-worthy?
Is it good enough to merit the company of his fellow nominees, cause if it’s solely based on that particular mini, none of his other work is listed, that’s definitely got the song “one of these things don’t belong” playing in my head.

Yeha “Cry for Justice” made me cry for a refund (that I did not get.) Good luck to Ed Brubaker going up against Geoff Johns, but I think Matt Fraction needed some more love for Iron Man, unless you can’t get it two years in a row (off the record Im sure). Finally, I love Sweet Tooth and I wish more people would try it out. Issue 1 was only a buck and you can get it from http://www.comiccollectorlive.com for less than that even.

I wish they had put “Superman, Superman: World of New Krypton” after James Robinson’s name instead of Cry for Justice. Superman (featuring Mon-El) is one of the best superhero books on the stands. Cry for Justice is one of the very, very worst.

Naoki Urasawa’s 20th Century Boys, by Naoki Urasawa is a awesome book. The fact Urasawa has a few nods I’m expecting him to pull out at least one win. I haven’t checked out Pluto or his mega hit Monster yet but I just finished Yawara! Fashionable Judo Girl anime based on one of his earlier mangas and was very entertaineed. This man is great.
