With San Diego Comic Con winding up tomorrow, looking back, part of the events is the famous Eisner award presentation where professionals vote on selections made by a five member panel.
I attended the 2007 awards and was thrilled. I stood right next to Geof Darrow at one point after the awards and really wanted to talk with him but never got the opportunity.
I wonder how we here at the CCF would vote.
As we are in 2014 now, I propose we vote on items cover dated 2003. I'm going to eliminate some of the categories so it's not overwhelming, and I probably couldn't correctly vote on, say, Best Colorist.
If I've left out a category and someone would like it included, then post and let me know.
I'll tabulate the results at the end of August, so we have a little over a month to vote.
Obviously most of us have not read everything published in 2003, but vote on what you have read, at least story-wise.
If you can't think of something to vote on, then skip it. No big deal. I'd rather have fewer votes that are honest reflections of what we've read.

I think I'd need some sort of list of what came out in 2003 to do this justice... remembering what year things came out off the top of my head is not really happening.

If you go to Grand Comics Databaseand go to Advanced Search and enter cover date start 1/1/2003 and end 12/31/2003 it'll run the list of what was cover dated for 2003. |

The best part of awards is not seeing who won, but looking at the nominees. So I am doing my nominees first-limiting it to a max of 5 nominees in each category. I used Mike’s Amazing Newsstand for 2003 set on publication date not cover date to make sure most everything here was published in 2003. It’s not comprehensive as it does not list a lot of smaller publishers, but it’s a start. I’ll post winners later in the month.

YMMV, but this is what would've gotten my nominations 10 years ago from what I've read in that year. Some good stuff, but so much more now.

I wasn't even reading comics in 2003. But this makes for some great reading suggestions.

That's been my take away from awards too. I've gotten to turned on to some good stuff too, like Saga.
