I don’t know who to feel about awards. Honestly, it’s just a show of industry politics and bullshit, just like EVERY other award show or ceremony. Looking down the roster of nominees for the Eisner awards this year is a real mixed bag. Some of the list is made up of mediocre talent who have become industry dolled based on social networking and industry games. Others on the list are a true representation of the best in the business. When i was trying to break in, i went to an Eisner award ceremony in San Diego. This was a LONG time ago, and the con was MUCH MUCH smaller. The keynote speaker was Frank Miller. He addressed the false nature of awards and award shows, BUT, as he put it “These awards are different… because… it has HIS name on it.” The statement was powerful and it resonated with me. Over the past decade, i have tried to keep that sentiment within myself. It’s hard. When i look at many of the winners over the decade, i feel like Eisner himself would be disappointed. This year, i have many close friends nominated, and i truly believe they are making some of the greatest comics of the past decade. I hope they win. After all, i’d imagine receiving the award feel pretty dan awesome. Congrats Andrew, Sean, and Nick. We’ve been in the trenches, fighting the good fight for a long time. You deserve all the recognition you can get. Even if it is all bullshit. This weeks Episode is an intro to Zylonol studios. We were sober and coherent. We were not for part two. Consider this the set up for the mess to follow.
