How does it feel to win an award named after you?
Comic Book Resources has a list of this year's Eisner Award Winners from SDCC. Not many surprises:
Best Coloring: Laura Depuy, Ruse (CrossGen); Ministry of Space (Image) - PDF of the first issue available at the link
Best U.S. Edition of Foreign Material: Akira, by Katsuhiro Otomo (Dark Horse)
Best Penciller/Inker or Penciller/Inker Team: Eduardo Risso, 100 Bullets (Vertigo/DC)
Best Graphic Album-New: The Name of the Game, by Will Eisner (DC)
Best Writer: Brian Michael Bendis, Powers (Image); Alias, Daredevil, Ultimate Spider-Man (Marvel)
I'd be upset that Brian Azzarello, writer for 100 Bullets, lost out, but, y'know, Nubian goddess Jill Thompson (who I'd swear I saw at a Tori Amos show in Chicago a zillion years ago, but redheads at a Tori show weren't exactly thin on the ground. . .), so instead I laugh like Nelson.
Best Writer/Artist-Humor: Evan Dorkin, Dork (Slave Labor)
Couldn't quite fit the full Milk & Cheese quote, "Love us with money or we hate you with hammers!" in the Amazon tip jar. "Gin makes a man mean" fits, but I'd have to leave out, "Everybody booze up and riot!"
I hope he was there, and gave an acceptance speech. Those are always good.
Best Continuing Series: 100 Bullets, by Brian Azzarello and Eduardo Risso (Vertigo/DC)
Stupid Brian Azzarello, anyway.
Full write-up at CBR later today, audio of acceptance speeches up Tuesday.
