The
Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards, commonly shortened to the
Eisner Awards, are prizes given for creative achievement in American comic books since 1988. The digital comic category was added in 2005.
Some say the category could be expanded, given the abundance of digital creations. Regardless, there are 42 different titles nominated in the past 8 years.
The 2013 nominations have been made:
Ant Comic, by Michael DeForge (
previously,
twice) |
Bandette, by Paul Tobin and Colleen Coover |
It Will All Hurt, by Farel Dalrymple (
previously) |
Our Bloodstained Roof, by Ryan Andrews (
previously) |
Oyster War, by Ben Towle. Nominations and winners from prior years inside.

"I called Joe," Stewart remembers, "and asked if he wanted to come to spring training with me. I said, 'The Mets have this pitcher they picked up. They got him pitching in secret, under a big tarp. He has a 168 mile an hour fastball and he plays the French horn and went to Harvard and he was raised in Tibet by Buddhist monks and he pitches with one foot bare and one foot in a boot. And guess what?
You're going to be him.'" [more inside]

Here’s the thing about Pottersville that struck me when I was 15: It looks like much more fun than stultifying Bedford Falls — the women are hot, the music swings, and the fun times go on all night. If anything, Pottersville captures just the type of excitement George had long been seeking. A different take on a classic
movie.

I think that we can all agree that the best-selling duo in rock history, Hall & Oates, are pretty freaking awesome. They recorded some of the greatest songs in pop history, including "
Rich Girl", "
Kiss on My List", "
Private Eyes", "
I Can't Go for That (No Can Do)", "
Maneater", and "
You Make My Dreams Come True".
They were incredible live.
And they participated in the greatest back-alley song-writing duel of 1978.
Also Daryl Hall considers himself a modern-day warlock.
However, last night the world learned that Hall and Oates's are sad.
They are extremely saddened by the upcoming departure of Alan Colmes from his show Hannity and Colmes, and they have chosen to express their sadness through song.
