Auf der Comic-Con in San Diego wurden wieder die "Oscars" der Comicbranche verliehen: die Eisner-Awards. Webcomics wurden dabei in einer eigenen Kategorie nominiert! Die Mischung dieses Jahr war wieder ziemlich bunt, sowohl von den Themen also auch vom Stil. Wir haben einen Überblick mit Links und Kurzinfos zusammengestellt. Reinklicken lohnt sich!
Eisner Award Webcomics - Gewinner:
The Contradictions
by Sophie Yanow
The Contradictions is a work of autobiographical fiction.
During a Reddit-ask-me-anyhing session about "The Contradictions", Yanow explained: "I think that seeing women and queer people talking about their lives in comics made it feel like a medium where I could find a home. After trying to tell fantasy or sci-fi stories, I eventually discovered came most naturally was memoir. I fought it for a while, even though I was regularly blogging as a teen (I think in part due to what Hilary Chute calls “a gendered suspicion of memoir,” ie it’s literature if it’s a man, like Proust or Walden, but it’s trite if it comes from a woman)."

Lore Olympus

Stylish and immersive, this is one of mythology’s greatest stories -- The Taking of Persephone -- as it’s never been told before.
