Eagle Awards nisu ni po kom qriteriju naročito bitne: to su fanovske nagrade britanskog tržišta za koje se glasa javno pa su rezultati predvidljivo dosadni. Nu, kako mi je obavijest pala u sandučić, reqoh da je stavim ovdje iz bar dva razloga: što se osjećam qrivim što jučer nije bilo tjednog izvješća i stoga što možda doznam nešto što ne znam. Pa da krenem:
London, March 28, 2007 – Earlier this year tens of thousands of comics fans from around the world nominated their 2006 favourites in each of 28 categories. With the results finally collated, counted and ratified, voting is now open for the 2007 Eagle Awards. To vote for your candidates, simply log on to http://www.eagleawards.co.uk/vote.asp
Primijetite da ovo znači kako možete i svi vi otići tamo i glasati za neqe pifdarije u nadi da će se izglasati nešto čudno. Stavi linq i na SVesti, Zlatko, što je više ludih ...
Polls close at midnight (BST) Sunday, April 22, 2007.
The winners are to be announced at the Bristol International Comic Expo on Saturday, May 12 2007. The highlight of Britain's premiere comics event, the awards are to be held at Bristol's Ramada Plaza Hotel where the ceremony is to be hosted by top comedian Norman Lovett, the original Holly from Red Dwarf.
Čudnom igrom slučaja, upravo gledam "Red Dwarf". Štoviše, baš sam se nakanjivao između epizode 2.2 i pisanja ovoga, a onda je moj osjećaj krivice prevagnuo nad željom za zabavom. Jadno.
The presentation is to be preceded by the traditional gala dinner. With demand for tickets always high, early booking is highly recommended. Reservations can be made through Martin 'Biff' Averre, who can also provide further details. He can be contacted via email at martin@acecomics.co.uk or by telephone on 01206 364140 (011-44-1206 364140 from North America).
Za svaki slučaj, je li. Možda nekoga privuče gala-večera pa nam i napiše izvještaj.
ABOUT THE EAGLE AWARDS – Established in 1976 by Mike Conroy, the Eagles are the comics industry’s longest established awards. Acknowledged as the pre-eminent international prizes, they have been featured on the covers of leading US and UK titles across the last three decades with such diverse titles as X-Men, Swamp Thing, Preacher, 2000 AD and MAD among those proud to display the Eagle Award emblem.
Blablabla.

2006 EAGLE AWARD NOMINEES
I hajd'mo! Prva kategorija je:
Favourite Comics Writer
ALAN MOORE (Lost Girls)
BRIAN K. VAUGHAN (Y: The Last Man, Runaways, Ex Machina, Pride of Baghdad)
ED BRUBAKER (Criminal, Uncanny X-Men, Daredevil, Captain America)
GRANT MORRISON (All-Star Superman, Batman)
WARREN ELLIS (Fell, Desolation Jones, Nextwave, newuniversal)
Nikakvih iznenađenja ovdje. Britanski trolist i dva Amera koje se nije moglo izbjeći. Nu, bolje Brubaker nego Bendis, valjda.
Favourite Comics Writer/Artist
ALAN DAVIS (Fantastic Four: The End)
BEN TEMPLESMITH (Wormwood: Gentleman Corpse; IDW)
DARWYN COOKE (The Spirit, Solo)
MICHAEL AVON OEMING (The Cross Bronx; Image)
MIKE MIGNOLA (Dark Horse Book of Monsters)
Nema iznenađenja: Brit, dvije zvijezde s polupokrićem, Mignola (drago mi je što Britanci misle kako zna i crtati, za razliku od Amera koji više vole njegove scenarije ) i Mignolin klon.
Favourite Comics Artist: Pencils
ALEX MALEEV (New Avengers, New Avengers: Illuminati)
BRYAN HITCH (The Ultimates 2)
FRANK CHO (Liberty Meadows)
FRANK QUITELY (All-Star Superman)
JOHN CASSADAY (Astonishing X-Men, Planetary)
Vrijedni šljakeri koji crtaju lijepe žene realistički. Vjerojatno je od svih najzanimljiviji Quitely, ali i to je upitno. Mainstream izbor.
Favourite Comics Artist: Inks
ANDE PARKS (Nightwing, Civil War: Choosing Sides, The Irredeemable Ant-Man)
DANNY MIKI (Moon Knight, Eternals)
JIMMY PALMIOTTI (52; Daughters of the Dragon; Secret Six)
MARK FARMER (Fantastic Four: The End)
PAUL NEARY (The Ultimates 2)
Iskreno, iznenadilo bi me da masa čitatelja zna razlikovati dobar tuš od lošega. Jer da znaju, Palmiotti tu ne bi imao što tražiti. No, ovo je kategorija u kojoj se glasa za poznata imena (Miki je vjerojatno jedini preživio od tušera ranog Imagea) ili za tušere dobrih olovkara (Neary) na popularnim stripovima.
Favourite Artist: Fully-Painted Artwork
ALEX MALEEV (New Avengers, New Avengers: Illuminati)
ALEX ROSS (Justice)
ASHLEY WOOD (Doomed; IDW, Metal Gear Solid: Sons of Liberty; IDW)
BEN TEMPLESMITH (Fell, 30 Days: Deadspace, Wormwood: Gentleman Corpse)
JAMES JEAN (Fables)
Neujednačena kategorija koja pokazuje da slikani stripovi još imaju nepoštenu prednost kod likovno nepismenih. Ben Templesmith, primjerice, ne umije crtati, ali ima tri koloristička trika u rukavu pa dok ljudi to puše, puše.
Favourite Colourist
ALEX SINCLAIR (52, Batman)
CHRIS BLYTHE (2000AD)
DAVE STEWART (Daredevil, New Avengers, Superman)
LAURA MARTIN (Astonishing X-Men, The Ultimates 2)
RICHARD ISANOVE (Wolverine: Origins, New Avengers)
Vidi pojašnjenje pod tušerima. Neki su tu iz navike, neki jer su na popularnoj knjizi. Neki su i dobri.
Favourite Letterer
CHRIS ELIOPOULOS (Astonishing X-Men, Fell)
COMICCRAFT (Supergirl, Superman/Batman)
RICHARD STARKINGS (Elephantmen, Hip Flask)
TODD KLEIN (Eternals, Lost Girls)
TOM FRAME (2000AD)
Kad se tvrtke mogu natjecati za ovu nagradu, to je znak da bi je trebalo ukinuti. Tom Frame je, inače, umro lani. Pokoj mu vječni.
Favourite Editor
AXEL ALONSO (Daredevil, Punisher)
JOE QUESADA (Marvel)
MATT SMITH (2000AD, Judge Dredd Megazine)
STEVE WACKER (52)
TOM BREVOORT (New Avengers, Civil War)
Iliti: urednik na stripu koga volimo.
Favourite Publisher
DARK HORSE
DC
IMAGE
MARVEL
REBELLION
Apsolutno bez iznenađenja: četiri najprodavanija Amera i jedini postojeći Brit. Ali dobro, bar su pošteni pa glasuju za "najdraže", ne za "najbolje".
Favourite Colour Comicbook - American
ALL STAR SUPERMAN (DC)
DESOLATION JONES (Wildstorm)
FABLES (DC)
JACK STAFF (Image)
TRANSFORMERS (IDW)
Zapravo je zanimljivo da vole Transformerse više od ijednog Marvela.
Favourite Colour Comicbook - British
2000AD (Rebellion)
EVENT HORIZON (MAM TOR PUBLISHING)
JUDGE DREDD MEGAZINE (Rebellion)
STARSHIP TROOPERS (Markosia)
THRUD THE BARBARIAN (Carl Critchlow)
Nisam ni znao da ih imaju 5. Thrud valjda izaže jednom godišnje.
Favourite Black and White Comicbook - American
CASANOVA (Image)
PHONOGRAM (Image)
THE WALKING DEAD (Image)
USAGI YOJIMBO (Dark Horse)
WASTELAND (Oni Press)
Pitao sam se otkud Phonogram i Wasteland, ali vidim da ih rade Britovi pa više nemam pitanja.
Favourite Black and White Comicbook - British
FUTUREQUAKE (FutureQuakePress)
HERO KILLERS (Moonface Press)
HOW TO DATE A GIRL IN TEN DAYS (Vented Spleen)
MALCOLM MAGIC (Studio Blink Twice)
TALES FROM THE FLAT (Modern Monstrosity)
E, napokon prva zanimljiva qategorija! Britanci koji se nisu uspjeli prodati Imagu pa su morali objaviti qod sebe doma. Sigurno su truli.
Favourite New Comicbook
52 (DC)
CIVIL WAR (Marvel)
JUSTICE SOCIETY OF AMERICA (DC)
NEXTWAVE (Marvel)
TESTAMENT (DC)
Reklamirani crossover, reklamirani crossover, nostalgični favorit, Warren Ellis i strip protiv rata u Iraku.

BLADE OF THE IMMORTAL (Dark Horse)
DEATH NOTE (Viz Media)

Favourite European Comics
ASTERIX AND THE VIKINGS (Orion)
BLACKSAD: RED SOUL (iBooks)
SANCHO (20000 Leagues)
THE KILLER (Archaia Studios Press)

Dobro, pribilježio sam Sancho i The Killer da ih pogledam aqo naletim.
Favourite Comics Story published during 2006
52 #1 up (various)
ALL STAR SUPERMAN ONGOING (Grant Morrison/Frank Quitely)
CIVIL WAR #1 up (Mark Millar/Steve McNiven)
DAREDEVIL #82-87 THE DEVIL IN CELL-BLOCK D (Ed Brubaker/Michael Lark)
NEXTWAVE #1-6 (Warren Ellis/Stuart Immonen)
Predvidljivo. Poklapa se sa scenaristima.
Favourite Comics Cover published during 2006
5th Place was tied in the nomination round. This is why there are 6 nominations for this category.
52 #1 (various)
CIVIL WAR #1 (Steve McNiven)
FABLES: 1001 NIGHTS OF SNOWFALL (James Jean)
JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA #1 (Ed Benes)
NEXTWAVE #11 (Stuart Immonen)
THE ULTIMATES 2 #12 (Bryan Hitch)
Ima li naslovnica s nepoznatih stripova? Je li moguće da naslovnica nepoznatog stripa završi u ovoj qategoriji?
Favourite Original Graphic Novel
FABLES: 1001 NIGHTS OF SNOWFALL (Bill Willingham & various; DC/Vertigo)
FIVE FISTS OF SCIENCE (Matt Fraction/Steven Sanders; Image)
LOST GIRLS (Alan Moore/Melinda Gebbie; Top Shelf)
PRIDE OF BAGHDAD (Brian K. Vaughan/Niko Henrichon; DC/Vertigo)
STAGGER LEE (Derek McCulloch/Shepherd Hendrix; Image)
Ajde, zanimljiva qategorija. Što je Stagger Lee?
Favourite Reprint Compilation
ABSOLUTE DARK KNIGHT (Frank Miller/Klaus Janson; DC)
ABSOLUTE DC THE NEW FRONTIER (Darwyn Cooke; DC)
ABSOLUTE KINGDOM COME (Mark Waid/Alex Ross; DC)
ABSOLUTE SANDMAN v1 (Neil Gaiman & various; DC/Vertigo)
CAPTAIN AMERICA: WINTER SOLDIER v1 (Ed Brubaker/Steve Epting; Marvel)
Nezanimljiva qategorija.
Favourite Comics Character
BATMAN (DC)
CAPTAIN AMERICA (Marvel)
DAREDEVIL (Marvel)
JUDGE DREDD (Rebellion)
SPIDER-MAN (Marvel)
Najgluplja kategorija. Jedino, za razliku od prije deset godina, nema Wolverinea. Zanimljivo je da Marvel ovdje šiša, a nema ga u najboljim stripovima toliko. Ljudi vole likove, a ne što se s njima radi?
Favourite Comics Villain
BLACK ADAM (Infinite Crisis/JSA: DC)
DIRK ANGER (Nextwave: Marvel)
IRON MAN (Civil War: Marvel)
JOKER (Batman family: DC)
LEX LUTHOR (Superman family: DC)
Pardon, ovo je najgluplja kategorija. Ili možda najbolja. Jer je najfanovskija. Tko drugi razbija glavu tko je najbolji negativac? Možda bi se trebalo glasati za najgoreg negativca? Jer tek je najgori najbolji u svome poslu, ne?
