Dammit. I was hoping Satoshi Kon's manga would get nominated this year.
 It seems he's being snubbed by both the Oscars and the Eisners.

Nice variety here. The Eisner noms have a satisfying amount of diversity this year. Mainstream superhero comics only take a percentage of them.
Also worth noting: Gene Luen Yang was nominated as best writer for his Avatar: The Last Airbender comics (hey, their illustrated by Japanese artist duo Gurihiro!) |

I started reading too fast and thought Massive had been nominated for the young readers category.

In Clothes Called Fat was one of the best manga I'd read in a while. A very haunting yet ultimately true and realistic depiction of how an eating disorder can consume every aspect of your life. It definitely deserves a win.

One-Punch Man deserves every award ever made.

I go with All You Need Is Kill(8,5/10) but the classic Master Keaton (8/10) will win and why not. The rest are ok and In Clothes Called Fat the one misfire here as i even bothered to give it a negative Mu/amazon review after reading. Bleh. Massive sound like a fascinating read.
The Eisner are actually pretty good @ picking quality and i read winners blind but their manga selections aren´t always the best. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Eisner_Award_winners Edit: A good manga about an eating disorder would be Bara no Tame ni and Cousin by Ikuemi Ryou. Trust me as am overweight. Edit2: @KH91 The Japanese government gave director Doug Liman the Annual Japan Cool Content Contribution Award, an accolade that recognizes creatives who popularize Japanese media for worldwide audiences. thanks wiki.

All I Need Is Kill is getting nominated for everything, but not winning. So...I'm not expecting anything.

It was good, maybe great but not amazing imo...the art made the series better than it otherwise would have been. It needed a good 2-3 more chapters to flesh out the relationships some more, ofc it would still remain short but it was a bit...too short imo. One-punch man is really good...but it's really hard to judge the series xD I don't know where the story's going or if it's going to have a particularly interesting one - the art's amazing and it' s funny but...who knows. I haven't read the rest, but clearly I should give them a chance. |

All You Need is Kill is a great read. The first person was skillfully told in a way that gave you all the characterization you needed of the other characters, something quite difficult to do. And I loved how it paired up with Starship Troopers (the book), complementing and commenting on it. It was very well done, and I loved the translation (not saying I have a clue if it was translated right, but it read really well.)

Well, maybe someone thinks they make for good role models.
One-Punch Man feels like an as-the-author-goes kind of series. I don't think it's supposed to have any direction, at least any more so than The Simpsons. |

My heart say's All you Need is Kill. My mind say's Master Keaten. My hands say One-Punch Man.
I voted One-Punch Man. That dilema ended quickly. |
