Comic-Con may dazzle with swanky merchandise and big movie and TV trailers, but it’s still home to the biggest awards event in comics: The Eisners, a celebration of the best and brightest creative teams around. This year is no exception, and here’s the complete list of winners of this week's prestigious awards.

San Diego Comic-Con is just months away, which means that the Eisners - some of the most prestigious awards in comics - are close, too. The full list of nominees has been revealed today, and unsurprisingly, it's jam-packed with some damn good comics for you to read (or re-read).

Amidst all the craziness of San Diego Comic-Con, with its plethora of movies, shows, and hype, it's easy to forget the reason the convention exists in the first place: comic books. Luckily, the Eisner Awards is here to remind us what Comic Con is really about, and highlight the best in the comic book industry.

The nominees for this year's Eisner awards have been announced and, the contenders represent some of the best writing and illustration in the comics industry. But, as is always the case, there are countless amazing books that didn't receive a nod.

For some people, this is just early May. But for us, it's time to run down the list of Eisner award nominees -- and to remind ourselves that San Diego Comic-Con, where the winners will be announced, is just a few short months away.
