Festivals Extra: Eisners Unveils Related Media Driven Presenter Line-Up

The Eisner Awards has released its list of presenters for Friday's show. It's very genre-TV show driven, I think more than any other presentes slate ever, although there are a few comics people in there. I think that's a viable strategy and with Showtime hosting I wondered if there might be a slight move in that direction. I mean, I don't really have a horse in that race, I just think it's interesting.

I will be in attendance third row from the back drinking beer and watching on the big screens, my Eisner home for the rest of my days. I'm in it to see the creators of my childhood go into the hall of fame at this point. As for the yearly awards, I hope for all first-time winners because it's a nice thing to win one of those. The only category about which I've heard open speculation is whether or not Kelly Sue DeConnick will win the Best Writer Eisner, and I think that's a possibility. In my former category before recusal, I have no idea who's going to win although I would have lost a colossal bet made six years ago or whatever their first year was that Comics Alliance wouldn't have at least one as of yet.

I'm also rooting for Jonathan Ross to be funny, which seems a pretty safe bet.
