Nominados para los Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards 2011.

Ya están los nominados a los premios Will Eisner, el galardon y premio de más renombre e importante de la industria de la Historieta.
Este año de mainstream hay poco y nada, poco Dc, poco Marvel, etc... y está perfecto, no se han jugado con una idea interesante o arriesgada desde hace realmente mucho.
Abundan muchos títulos nuevos, admito no haber llegado al tercio de esta lista, leo siempre mucho y variado, pero hay muchas cosas que no conosco ni de título, para que mentir?. Lo que sí puedo recomendar, como ya hice en otras oportunidades es:

-20th Century Boys, de Naoki Urasawa, que debería ganar en todas las categorías que fué nominada.
-Darwyn Cooke por Richard Stark’s Parker: The Outfit, pateando la objetividad al tacho, todo lo que ese autor hace es mágico.
-Skottie Young por The Marvelous Land of Oz, tiene una mano mutante, es genial como labura.
-Juanjo Guarnido, por Blacksad, que sigue año tras años deleitandonós con ese tremendo policial, fondos y perspectivas jugadas, pero sobretodo unas expresividades indescriptibles.
-Mike Mignola por portadas varias, y porque siempre supo captar lo justo, siempre certero el tipo. Con poco cuenta mucho, cuando muchos con mucho no hacen nada.

Les dejo la lista para que chusmeen.
