Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards Coverage
Fanbase Press values the opportunity to spotlight the lead-up to and award ceremony for the Eisner Awards each year given their positive impact, their importance to the comic book industry, and Fanbase Press’ own mission to “Celebrate Fandoms.”
Fanbase Press’ annual “Countdown to the Eisners” series continued this year, with its goal of familiarizing the public with the nominees and their work. This year, Fanbase Press released four exclusive videos prior to the awards ceremony. These videos feature members of the comic book community sharing their thoughts on how the Eisners direct or impact their own work, this year’s most interesting nominations, why the average comic book reader should take note of the nominations, and how the Eisners might evolve to adapt to the changing comics industry. You can find links to these videos below:
