Настало то самое время года, когда объявляют номинантов на премию имени Уилла Айзнера — комиксный аналог той премии, которая невероятно престижна, но не сказать, чтобы превращала кого-то в миллионеров. Но престижна.
Если вести подсчет по издательствам, то Marvel круче DC — у них 19 номинаций против 18 у конкурента, но им на пятки наступает Fantagraphics с 15 номинациями. За что они? Где фильмы про супергероев издательства Fantagraphics? Непонятно.
Если смотреть по именам, то мы продолжаем переживать год сурка, в который Брайана К. Вона номинируют за все, что издается под солнцем, он претендует на 4 награды. Может показаться, что больше достойных сценаристов в индустрии нет, но они все-таки есть: сразу по 3 позиции заняли Грант Моррисон и Пол Тобин. У художников лидирует Ноэль Стивенсон, известная вам по комиксу Lumberjanes, который вы, конечно же, читаете. Вообще в этом году много знакомых имен, не выходящих из ротации почти никогда, но есть и новички. Кто из них окажется сильнее, мы узнаем на комик-коне в Сан-Диего, который пройдет с 9 по 12 июля.
