Friday, July 24, Comic-Con International continues its novel program of bringing the best of the San Diego Comic-Con experience online, with a virtual ceremony presenting the 2020 Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards!

The awards will be presented by voice actor Phil LaMarr, known for his roles as John Stewart/Green Lantern on Justice League, Hermes on Futurama, as well as voicing both Samurai Jack and Static Shock.

Local nominees this year include Matt Bors for his work on The Nib, Greg Means for Penny Nichols, David Walker for both Bitter Root and Naomi, the latter a co-nomination with another local favorite, Brian Michael Bendis! Bendis is also nominated for the reprint of Cover Vol. 1, and Ethan Kimberling picked up a Design nomination for Dark Horse Comics’s Grunt: The Art and Unpublished Comics of James Stokoe.
