Последнюю пару месяцев я, как мог, представил уважаемой публике всех номинантов на премию Айснера. Кто подзабыл, о чем шла речь, могут освежить в памяти мою статью в трех частях (часть 1-я, часть 2-я, часть 3-я). В прошлые же выходные были наконец-то объявлены победители, и пришло время (вернее я наконец-то смог) подвести итог.
Как и в прошлом году, основным триумфатором была Сага Брайана К. Вона и Фионы Степлз. Она стала лучшим онгоингом, а так же принесла своим авторам призы за лучшего автора и мультимедийного художника, соответственно. Так же была отмечена ограниченная серия The Wake Скотта Снайдера и Шона Мерфи, победившая в соответствующей номинации и принесшая Мерфи приз в категории «лучший художник». Братья Эрнандез победили в номинациях за лучшую короткую историю (Гилберт) и за лучшего автора/художника (Джейми). Все остальные результаты дальше под катом.
