The 2009 Eisner Award nominees were released this week, and it's a very diverse list that features entries from 38 publishers. Named for famed cartoonist Will Eisner, the awards are the Oscars of the comics world and are handed out each year during a ceremony at Comic-Con International San Diego.
The nice thing about the list is that it serves as a "recommended reading list" for the summer. I'm already familiar with quite a few of the titles nominated, but those that I don't know will spark conversations for the next several months. I must admit that Willie & Joe is a personal favorite, and I'll be cheering for it.
