The Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards, alebo ak chcete skrátene Eisner Awards, poznajú svojich víťazov. Tento komiksový Oscar, ktorý sa udeľuje od roku 1988, predstavil to najlepšie v komiksovej brandži už klasicky na nedávno skončenom Comic-Cone v San Diegu. Ocenenie, ktoré je pomenované po legendárnom scenáristovi a kresličovi Willovi Eisnerovi, ktorý bol až do svojej smrti v roku 2005 regulárnou súčasťou ceremónie, má množstvo kategórií, na ktorých prehľad sa môžete pozrieť nižšie. Veľmi pozitívny je fakt, že jeden z najúspešnejších komiksov tohtoročných cien sa stal titul Monstress, ktorý vyšiel aj u nás ako Netvora.
