A Few Quick Words On Eisner Noms

I wanted to draw attention to a few Eisner Award commentaries I missed last week. Our own David P. Welsh touches on the matter of manga's place in those awards, which was widely discussed and you can get into it from that post of David's if you want. Evan Dorkin talks about the awards in general -- my general take is close to his -- and notes the lack of consideration generally afforded the Hernandez Brothers. Gary Tyrrell notes that the on-line category probably needs to get nailed down a bit over the next few years.

I share Dorkin's general reaction, and was also surprised by nothing for RASL, which I think is really good so far, and Aya of Yop City, which is appealing in exactly the way I thought most Eisner nomination panels tended to reward and is gorgeous besides. I'm also disappointed in the lack of a nomination for the best book ever written about a cartoonist, Bob Levin's Most Outrageous, although its subject matter is such I understand why people aren't exactly hugging that one to their chest.
