EXCEPTIONS!  Late submissions are held over for the following
week. Final edit is reserved by the editor, not the submitter!

Reviews of mainstream books are welcome and we encourage reviews
of indies and self published material as we feel that material
deserves more exposure to the general public.  If you write
intelligent, coherent, and timely reviews of any comic book it
will almost always be printed, so give us a shot.

Commentary on the state of the industry, and personal
observations and reflections related to comics are *most* likely
to be included in our publication.

PLEASE, no material on gaming, non-comic derived media, role
playing, collectible card games, Anime or other hobbies or
collectibles other than comic books. That also includes plugs for
web comics and web pages UNLESS they are concerned with print
comic books.  We do not promote web comics per se, only the
printed media.

SEND US YOUR WORK

We also accept product for review purposes.  Advanced copies of
comic books will not be returned but any comic books sent to us
*will* be reviewed in the ComicBook Net Emag in the column MY
VIEW. Send material to be reviewed to:

Material is generally reviewed in the order received and be
advised that we work a few weeks in advance so your review may
not be in the magazine immediately.  Advanced copies are
therefore encouraged so the review will occur prior to your
product hitting the stores.

[COMICS OBSCURA are facts Mike Curtis has dug out during his 30
years of collecting Superman and writing about comics. His
website for his comic imprint is www.shandafantasyarts.net ]

WHAT A FIGHT!

In the 1943 serial BATMAN, the butler ALFRED has a very meaty
role, particularly in Chapter 3.  In one of our favorite scenes,
the villain Dr. Daka has lost his radium gun to the Batman and is
trying to retrieve it.  Batman places an ad in the paper and has
Alfred in disguise rent an office, and meet people who wish to
claim it.  Robin is on the roof, while Batman waits at the
window.  Soon enough, Daka's chief thug arrives with 3 of his men
and tries to get the gun.  Robin crashes through the skylight,
and Batman joins in for a large fight.  Alfred, knocked to the
floor, finds a discarded gun.  He closes his eyes and blindly
fires it into the air, as all participants, including the Dynamic
Duo, hide.  When he's out of bullets and the thugs have fled,
Batman creeps up and gets the gun.  Here is the next scene of
dialogue.

ALFRED:  Where are the ruffians?

ROBIN:  You killed all seven of them.

ALFRED' But there were only four of them!

ROBIN:  You killed three of them twice.

ALFRED:  Where are the bodies?

ROBIN:  We threw them out the window.

Then Batman and Robin discuss their next move, while Alfred goes
to the window and looks down.

Chris Ware, Warren Ellis Garner Most Nominations for 2006 Eisners

Representing very different ends of the comics spectrum, Chris
Ware and Warren Ellis are the creators with the most nominations
for the 2006 Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards. Ware has seven
nominations, four for his self-published hardcover Acme Novelty
Library 16 (Best Graphic Album-New, Writer/Artist, Coloring,
Lettering), two for Acme Novelty Library Annual Report, published
by Pantheon (Graphic Album-Reprint, Publication Design), and
another design nomination for Drawn & Quarterly's Walt and
Skeezix.

Ellis's six nominations are associated with several projects. For
WildStorm, his Desolation Jones is up for Best New Series and
Serialized Story, while Ocean is nominated for Limited Series.
For Image, Fell is nominated for both New Series and Continuing
Series. In the Writer category, his nomination is for those
projects as well as for Down (Top Cow/Image), and Planetary
(WildStorm).

Close behind Ellis with five nominations is another Writer
nominee, Brian K. Vaughan (last year's recipient), with nods for
WildStorm's Ex Machina (Single Issue, Serialized Story,
Continuing Series) and Vertigo's Y: The Last Man (Serialized
Story). Vaughan's writing credits also include Marvel's Runaways.
Also tapped for five nominations is J. H. Williams III, cited for
Best Penciller/Inker on both Promethea (ABC) and the twice-
nominated Desolation Jones. Promethea #32 is nominated for
Single  Issue and for Publication Design, for which Williams and
Todd Klein were the designers.

Three creators have four nominations: Alan Moore (Writer) for
ABC's Promethea and Top Ten: The Forty-niners (Graphic Album-New)
and for DC's Absolute Watchmen (Archival Project); Tony Harris
for Ex Machina (including Cover Artist); and Kyle Baker for his
two self-published efforts: Nat Turner (Limited Series, Reality-
Based Work) and The Bakers (Single Issue, Writer/Artist-Humor).
Among creators with three nominations are Grant Morrison (Writer)
for DC's Seven Soldiers (Limited Series) and All Star Superman
(New Series); Eric Powell for Dark Horse's The Goon (Short Story,
Continuing Series, and Writer/Artist-Humor); Joann Sfar for The
Rabbi's Cat (Graphic Album-New, U.S. Edition of Foreign Material)
and Dungeon: The Early Years (U.S. Edition of Foreign Material);
Seth for Drawn & Quarterly's Wimbledon Green (Graphic Album-New,
Writer/Artist-Humor, Publication Design); and newcomer Frank
Espinosa for Rocketo (New Series, Continuing Series, Cover
Artist), published by the now-defunct Speakeasy.

DC and its various imprints racked up the most company
nominations, with 28 full nominations and shares of several
others. Led by the nominations for Ex Machina, Desolation Jones,
and Promethea, DC's WildStorm (including ABC) imprint has 16 full
nominations. The DC line has 10 nominations, with 3 for the
recently canceled Solo, while DC's Vertigo line has 3 full
nominations. Image can boast of 10+ nominations, including two
each for Fell, Eric Shanower's Age of Bronze, and the Flight 2
anthology.

Drawn & Quarterly made its strongest showing ever in the Eisners,
with nine nominations. In addition to Seth's Wimbledon Green, D&Q
is on the ballot with Guy Delisle's Pyongyang (Reality-Based
Work, Writer/Artist), Walt and Skeezix (Archival), Joe Sacco's
War's End (Graphic Album-Reprint), and Adriane Tomine's Optic
Nerve (Writer/Artist).

Mainstream publisher Pantheon is also well represented, with
eight nominations. In addition to the two for Sfar's The Rabbi's
Cat, the publisher dominates in the category of Graphic Album-
Reprint (Ware's Acme Novelty Library Annual Report, Charles
Burns' Black Hole, Dan Clowes' Ice Haven) and in the newly
created Reality-Based Work category (Marjane Satrapi's
Embroideries, David B's Epileptic).

Next among the publishers is Fantagraphics, with seven
nominations, including nods to Mome (Anthology), Jordan Crane's
The Clouds Above (Publication for a Younger Audience), and Gipi's
The Innocents (Single Issue). The nominations for The Goon give
Dark Horse five-plus nods, while Young Avengers (New Series,
Writer-Alan Heinberg) helped Marvel snag five nominations (plus
many shared ones). Top Shelf is on the ballot in five categories,
including Graphic Album-New for Alex Robinson's Tricked. The
remaining nominations are scattered among 30 other publishers.
This year's judges made a few changes in the categories. In
addition to adding Best Reality-Based Work, they split the
Archival category into two (comic strips and comic books), and
they eliminated the Humor Publication category, which they felt
overlapped too much with the Writer/Artist-Humor category. For
the Hall of Fame, the judges' choices for 2006 are Mickey Mouse
cartoonist Floyd Gottfredson and Wonder Woman creator William
Moulton Marston. A complete list of the nominations is provided
below.

The panel of judges consisted of critic Christopher Allen (Comic
Book Galaxy), cartoonist/publisher John Gallangher (Buzzboy),
editor Nisha Gopalan (Entertainment Weekly), product manager
Robert Randle (Diamond Comic Distributors), and retailer Robert
Scott (Comikaze, San Diego).

Ballots will be going out in late April to comics creators,
editors, publishers, and retailers. The results will be announced
in a gala awards ceremony on the evening of Friday, July 21, in
Ballroom 20 at the San Diego Convention Center.

Sponsors for the 2006 Eisners include mycomicshop.com (major
sponsor), Diamond Comics Distributors and Century Guild
(principal sponsors), and Alternate Reality, Atlantis
Fantasyworld, Comic Relief-The Comic Bookstore, Comics Unlimited,
Flying Colors, Golden Apple, and Star*Reach (supporting
sponsors).

The Eisner Awards are presented under the auspices of Comic-Con
International, San Diego, a nonprofit educational organization
dedicated to creating awareness of and appreciation for comics
and related popular art forms. primarily through the presentation
of conventions and events that celebrate the historic and ongoing
contributions of comics to art and culture. Jackie Estrada has
been administrator of the Awards since 1990. She can be reached
