Og de nominerede er …

Nu er de nominerede til dette års Eisner Awards offentliggjort, og det er ikke en liste som byder på de store overraskelser – Warren Ellis (som snart besøger Danmark til komiks.dk ) har flest nomineringer for værker som bl.a. Desolation Jones, Fell, Ocean og Planetary, mens Alan Moore, Grant Morrison og Brian K. Vaughan også udmærker sig på listen. Det er lidt småt med nye navne på listen, men det afspejler måske også den amerikanske forlagsscene meget godt – det er svært at komme til som ny, og det gør det ikke nemmere at Ellis, Moore, Morrison og hvad de nu allesammen hedder lader til at være på toppen af deres skaberevne. Det er ret svært at hamle op med Planetary, Seven Soldiers eller Promethea.
Her er et udvalg af kategorier fra listen – læs mere på Eisner Awards hjemmeside eller på Newsarama:

Ulf Reese Næsborg

Ulf Reese Næsborg er født i 1971, og har læst tegneserier siden da, hvilket vil sige at han har læst stort set samtlige albumudgivelser i Danmark indtil starten af 90'erne, hvor han begyndte at læse overvejende udenlandske tegneserier. Læser mest amerikanske tegneserier, både fra 'de to store' og fra Indie-udgivere. Yndlingsforfatterne er Grant Morrison, skarpt efterfulgt af Alan Moore, men han har også et blødt punkt for Brian Michael Bendis, J. Michael Straczynski og Brian K. Vaughan. Han er manden bag tegneseriesiden og som sådan den man skal kontakte hvis man har generelle spørgsmål eller kommentarer til siden.
