Interesting that Astonishing X-Men and Y are going head to head in so many categories. I can almost guarantee that Joss gets himself at least 1 Eisner out of this.
And, why on earth is Dave Sim nominated? Didn't Cerebus end, like, 4 years ago?
What you did to me was unbelievable, Connor. But then I got stuck in a hell dimension by my girlfriend one time for a hundred years, so three months under the ocean actually gave me perspective. Kind of a M.C. Escher perspective, but I did get time to think.

Eisner Nominations that make me happy:
Courtney Crumrin in the Twilight Kingdom, by Ted Naifeh (Oni)
Blacksad Book 2: Arctic Nation, by Juan Diaz Canales and Juanjo Guarnido (iBooks) (This will make Pete all sorts of happy. He's been burbling about Blacksad Book 2 for months now.)
Phil Foglio, Girl Genius (Airship Entertainment) (Phil! Whoo-hoo! Man, I need to send him email ...)

B) It's going to suck, isn't it?
David's work tends to be a crap shoot in recent years, so who can say? I was briefly afraid, given the photorealistic cover, that Marsters might be trying his hand at writing another comic. t shudder

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Wikipedia agrees with you, so, OK. Maybe it SHOULD have ended a few years ago, tho.

Seeing the Eisner list makes me wonder - are we going to be seeing credits that read "Wachowski Siblings" rather than "Wachowski Brothers" at some point?

Validation from a pseudo-anarchic mass-edited reference work! w00t!

Not gonna argue there.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
DC is issuing a second printing of Batman #638 (the most recent one), with a [SPOILERY if you haven't read it or know what happens] variant cover.
I still have no idea who that is. But then, I haven't really followed DC.
