[Smokinghawk]

No mention of Maleev's art (or the coloring thereon), which has been my favorite for months now.

 

And I think Get Fuzzy is the best syndicated strip out there. Boondocks has been a drag for a while.

 

[blowout]

Great to see Kaare Andrews get the recognition he deserves for his 'incredible' Hulk covers.

Finally 100 Bullets gets the recognition that the Eisner Awards should have given it.

 

You got it! Don't understand the "Eisner Snub" at all. Easily the best book going right now. Good call on "Y". I enjoy Fables as well (and wouldn't mind it winning), but I think "Y" will win based on the strength of the first couple issues which were better than the 1st Fables arc.
