And the Winner Is...

One of the things that I always look forward to come out of San Diego are the Eisners. Oddly enough though, this year it was incredibly hard to find out who won what. Usually you hear all about it the panels, people kidding each other about winning or losing, companies send out e-mails congratulating themselves and their people on how many they won. But this year was weird. I actually had to go and Google it to find out something. Oddly enough, the San Diego Comic-Con people have nothing about it up on their site. If you want, go here and you can see the complete list of winners. Here though are a few highlights. Congratulations to all the winners!

Also, a special mention to Earth-2 Comics out in Sherman Oaks, CA. They have joined the elite few, ourselves included, to win the coveted Will Eisner Spirit of Comics Retailing Award. I hunted around and found a few pictures of their shop for you to take a look at.
