If you haven’t heard, the nominees run the gamut for this year’s Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards. It’s especially pleasing to see Jeph Loeb, with Darwyn Cooke, in the running for Best Single issue for ‘Batman/The Spirit #1: Crime Convention.’ Loeb’s a super-fine storyteller (Cooke’s no slouch either).

The reality-based category includes Alison Bechdel’s poignant memoir of her childhood, ‘Fun Home,’ as well as Brian Fies’ stirring ‘Mom’s Cancer.’ (Too bad Marisa Acocella Marchetto’s ‘Cancer Vixen’ and Miriam Engelberg’s ‘Cancer Made Me a Shallower Person’ didn’t make the cut: Both of these are powerful titles about the cancer journey.)
