Eisner Awards 2021 : voici les nommés publiés par DC Comics

C’est aujourd’hui que nous sont dévoilés les nominations pour les Eisner Awards, et nous allons donc revenir sur les titres et créateurs liés à DC Comics en course.

Les principaux nommés aux Eisner Awards 2021

Si DC est totalement absent de la meilleure série ongoing, l’éditeur place quelques titres pour la meilleure série limitée : Far Sector par N.K. Jemisin et Jamal Campbell était attendu et se retrouve parmi eux, aux côtés de l’excellent Superman’s Pal Jimmy Olsen de Matt Fraction et Steve Lieber (également nommé dans la catégorie de la meilleure série humoristique) et de Strange Adventures par les habitués de la cérémonie Tom King, Mitch Gerads et Evan Shaner.

L’équipe artistique de ce dernier titre est également nommé dans leur catégorie, mais on notera que Tom King n’est pas dans la liste (très relevée) des meilleurs scénaristes cette année. On notera également le succès de Superman Smashes the Klan et l’absence d’un de nos favoris, John Constantine : Hellblazer.
