Eisner Awards Winners

Ήρθε η ώρα και για τα φετινά βραβεία Eisner και φυσικά για τους νικητές τους! Φέτος, ξεχώρισαν το SAGA (Brian K. Vaughan & Fiona Staples) και το HAWKEYE (Matt Fraction & David Aja), μεταξύ άλλων. Επίσης, μεγαλη έκπληξη (και δικαίωση) κατά πολλούς, ήταν η νίκη του webcomic OATMEAL, του Matthew Inman, στην αντίστοιχη κατηγορία. Για να δούμε, λοιπόν, τους νικητές σε όλες τις κατηγορίες!
