O Prêmio Eisner, o mais importante prêmio da indústria dos quadrinhos, divulgou na última quinta (4) a lista completa dos indicados desta edição. A brasileira Bilquis Evely está indicada em duas categorias, melhor artista e melhor nova série, ambas por O Sonhar, da DC Comics (publicada no Brasil pela Panini).
A editora Image tem mais um ano de destaque, sendo a campeã de indicações. Foram três HQs indicadas em melhor série e duas em melhor minissérie.
Entre as indicações para melhor série estão Bitter Root e Crowded, da Image, inéditas no Brasil, além de Demolidor, O Sonhar e O Imortal Hulk, que saíram no Brasil pela Panini. No prêmio de melhor álbum está o novo trabalho de Emil Ferris, Our Favorite Thing Is My Favorite Thing Is Monsters.
Os vencedores serão divulgados em julho, mas ainda não há detalhes de como será a entrega do prêmio por conta da pandemia do novo coronavírus.
