Abraço,

[Mulder]

agora sim vai ser foda agüentar a falação dos 10 gayzinhos

[borges]

Batman ano 100 com 3 indicações é foda...

e me parece que o grande nome é mesmo o Brubaker, que aparece em quae todas as categorias relevantes. ele é bom, mas não merece tudo isso.

no mais, o Eisner continua com seu gosto pelo Underground, mas inserindo uma ou outra indicação mainstream pra não parecer alienado com a realidade da indústria.

Por exemplo, se Ultimates Volume 1 foi indicada, pq Ultimates Volume 2 (que é muito superior), não entrou na lista?

[Psyloco]

Cara, cade Civil War aí?

[BK]

Pô...
Não ganhei de novo...

[Mar-Vell]

Cara, cade Civil War aí?

Best Penciller/Inker or Penciller/Inker Team
Steven McNiven/Dexter Vines, Civil War (Marvel)
E só.

[Pablo Casado]

Cara, cade Civil War aí?

Best Penciller/Inker or Penciller/Inker Team
Steven McNiven/Dexter Vines, Civil War (Marvel)
E só.

E foi muito.

Sem contar que sacanearam o Frank Quitely; cadê ele na lista, pô?!

[Psyloco]

Muito o caramba, Civil War é a saga mais foda dos ultimos 20 anos.
Merecia mais, perdeu a credibilidade o Eisner.

[Mar-Vell]

Se reparem bem nenhuma mega-saga ou grande evento do mainstream costuma ter indicações pro Eisner Awards, achei até estranho o Brubaker ter tantos trabalhos pra Marvel indicados nesse ano.

[Aion]

E Fables vem com tudo hein amiches?
concordo é a melhor coisa que eu leio em anos.
7 indicações.

[morto muito loco]

Por mais q nerd goste de reclamar,o Eisner Awards ainda é um prêmio bastante justo,é abrangente e tem credibilidade.Por mais q role uma panelinha ou outra,ainda tem um pouco de tudo.Quem dera o Oscar foce assim.
Nenhuma surpresa ai,só senti falta de DMZ e Nightly News.

[RENARD]

Muito o caramba, Civil War é a saga mais foda dos ultimos 20 anos.
Merecia mais, perdeu a credibilidade o Eisner.

Pra tua informação, o pessoal do Eisner não vai muito com a cara da Marvel.

Quem sabe ela ganha alguma coisa da premiação da Wizard

[teleute]

101 nights of snowfalll é fodástico... merece as indicações... e o James Jean é muito bom também... devia desenhar um título mensal, isso sim.

[tike]

esse ano eu não sei, tem muita gente indicada que merece e tem muita gente que tambem merecia e nem foi indicado (millar, hitch, supremos vol.2, quitely, etc) como sempre.
Ano que vem melhor escritor é do moore por liga black dossier e vol. 3 e melhor album vai pra um dois.

[Pablo Casado]

Muito o caramba, Civil War é a saga mais foda dos ultimos 20 anos.
