black comics

The 2014 Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards ceremony took place Friday 25th July in the Indigo Ballroom at the Hilton San Diego Bayfront, as part of San Diego Comic-Con. It was a good night for Saga, Hawkeye, and the Hernandez brothers. Presenters included Orlando Jones, Reginald Hudlin, Matt Fraction and Kelly Sue DeConnick, Sergio Aragonés, Phil LaMarr, and Kevin Eastman. ComicsAlliance has a full list of winners, as well as the other nominees in each category.

I've read a couple books about black comics, and written probably a book's worth of information on the subject myself. When "Black Comix" was announced by Mark Batty Publisher, I was instantly interested. I eat this stuff up. "Black Comix" comes out soon, and now that I've read it, it's safe to say that it's nothing like I expected...
