Das sind die Nominierten für die EISNER AWARDS 2019
© San Diego Comic Convention

Die Nominierten für die prestigeträchtigen Eisner Awards stehen für das Jahr 2019 fest. Für die Unbedarften unter euch sei gesagt: dies ist die Oscar-Verleihung der US-Comicszene. In den USA und vermutlich auch weltweit gibt es keine bedeutendere Auszeichnung für Comickünstler - auch wenn die frankobelgischen Feuilletonisten nun sicher gern mit mir streiten würden. Die Verleihung der Eisner Awards findet wie im jeden Jahr im Rahmen der Comic Con in San Diego im anstehenden Sommer statt.

In diesem Jahr gibt es neben obligatorischen Benennungen - mal ehrlich, dass manche Comics in der Nominiertenliste auftauchen würden, war im Vorfeld sowas von sicher - auch einige Überraschungen: bspw. keine Nominierung für „Saga“ und „Paper Girls“ Autor Brian K. Vaughan. Also doch nicht alles so sicher.

Freuen können wir uns auf jeden Fall für Tom King und Mitch Gerads sowie für ihre absolut herausragende Arbeit „Mister Miracle“. King und Gerads sind dabei nicht nur als bester Autor und Zeichner nominiert worden, sondern die sensationell gute Mini-Serie „Mister Miracle“ eben auch als beste „Limited Series“. Ebenfalls Sean Murphys überaus toller „Batman: White Knight“ hat es zu einer Nominierung in derselben Kategorie gebracht. Keine wirklich Überraschung bei dem tollen Titel.

Als „Best Continuing Series“ wurde in diesem u.a. Kings „Batman“ aber auch Jeff Lemires und Dean Ormstons „Black Hammer: Age of Doom“ gelistet, welche gegenwärtig bereits beim Splitter Verlag erscheint. Überraschend war für mich die Benennung von Al Ewings „The Immortal Hulk“, welche wir gegenwärtig auch bereits bei Panini Comics lesen können.

Als „Best New Series“ fällt Deutschlesern vor allem Jeff Lemires „Gideon Falls“ auf, welches in den kommenden Wochen ebenfalls beim Splitter Verlag starten wird sowie auch Brenden Fletchers und Karl Kerschls „Isola“, welches wir ab Oktober diesen Jahres bei Cross Cult lesen können werden.
