More Awards
Apr. 24th, 2007 10:17 amThe Eisners have been announced at the Comic-Con site. I'm starting to recognize more and more names on the list, which is exciting.
( The rest is only interesting if you care about comics. )
The Eisners are making a concerted effort to include more manga to reflect the market. Unfortunately, since that's what I'm really most familiar with, I'm still not seeing the titles I recognize--I didn't see any of the hip new OEL (Original English Language) manga that's trying to expand what it means to be manga.
Which means, I guess, that I need to continue to expand my reading list, so I get more familiar with what they *are* selecting. I am impressed at the addition of web comics to the ballot (though that's probably a few years old at this point), and we glad to see Phil and Kaja Foglio's "Girl Genius" on the list.
And now that I'm done rambling about comics, I should get back to work.

A big thanks to all the writers who posted their pixilated-technophile-wretch(?) fiction yesterday! Now that I'm aware of it, I'll find a piece to not submit to magazines and instead publish online.
