July 23rd (or 22nd, depending on when your tickets will get you in the doors), that’s when Comic-Con International kicks off in San Diego. That’s just about 14 weeks. From this side of the equation (the publishing side) those are 14 very fast weeks. But just because we’re doing a lot of planning right now, that doesn’t mean we don’t have time to delve into one of Suvudu’s favorite genres: comics!
More specifically, we’re training our eyes on the Eisner Awards for Suvudu’s first Eisner Shakedown. The nominations have been announced, the date is set, now all that’s left to do is speculate. And that’s what we’re going to do. Starting today, Suvudu will be giving you a category-by-category shakedown of this year’s Eisner nominees. We’re hoping not just to highlight those extraordinarily talented writers/artists/creators who have been nominated, but to give you a little insight into each category as best we can*.
Hey, we’re not the Eisner judges, so we can’t tell you who has the inside track to take home an award, but we can help get the discussion started. So on we go and it’s my sincere hope that you’ll use the comments section and the forums to share your thoughts on the nominees, the Eisner’s, the categories, or even comics in general.
With only 14 weeks and 26 categories, there’s no time to lose, so we’ll kick it off today (in about 30 minutes or so) with a look at the nominees for Best Cover Artist. Stay tuned…
*That and it's a great excuse to look at comics during work.
