The Eisner Awards , which are the Acadmey Awards for comics, were given out at the San Diego Comicon this weekend. (I swear I'm going to go some year.) This year an award was added for best Digital Comic and it was won by PVP! I've been reading PVP for years and it's really cool that Scott Kurtz , a Dallas Local won. Zeus Comics which is also located right here in Dallas won the Spirit of Retailing award, or in other words Best Comic Book Store.

Zeus? Really?
I watched the G4 report from Comicon, which I am going to next year, and the Marvel CEO was really pushing Iron Man, even though it doesn't come out til 2008.
Oh man that prolly means Iron Man is gonna suck. I have no idea how Zues even got nominated for the Eisner Award. It probably has something to do with Wizard Magazine, they run the Comicon.
Zero:
Wizard has nothing to do with Comic-Con International: San Diego. They have their own conventions in Chicago, Los Angeles, Dallas, and Philadelphia. CCI is a nonprofit event that is now in its 36th year. The Eisner Spirit of Comics Retailer Award is a separate award from the Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards, which are given to publications and creators.
