Just like everything else about the Eagles, they way they announce the results is going to be slow, antiquated, and out of touch with what is happening in the industry.

Hopefully Mike leaving the awards in the hands of a 16 year old girl will make them more relevant.

And CBR get the award for first out of the box on this one:
http://www.comicbookresources......8;id=16383

“While CBR was robbed in the Favourite Website category, with Marvel.com winning the prize (not undeservedly, in light of their Digital Comics scheme), “Absolute Sandman” received the Favourite Reprint Eagle, and Dave Gibbons received Favourite Letterer, seeing him comment, “After 30 years, someone has finally recognized that I can spell.”

“The Walking Dead” once again won Favourite Black and White Comic, though the biggest cheer for this category was directed towards the critically acclaimed “Phonogram” by local creators Kieron Gillen and Jamie McKelvie, leaving no doubt where the convention-goers favours lay. Perhaps the most surprising moment of the awards was seeing “Hellboy: Darkness Calls” beat back such industry titans as “All-Star Superman,” “Y the Last Man” and “Captain America” to win Favourite Colour Comic (US). Relative newcomer Matt Fraction won Favourite Writer, vindicating Marvel’s recent confidence in him with such high profile assinments as “Uncanny X-Men” and “Invincible Iron Man.”

First thought on that one:
There’s something mildly disturbing about this. In the modern age that we’re in, when people are live blogging and live twittering the results of the Eisners and other news from the NY Comic Con and San Diego, the Eagle Awards are going to be announced on the 3rd day after the event?

Someone should have been ready with a post to go – hell, all it needs is a list of the nominees that you’ve posted previously and then add a big WINNER next to one entry per category.

So far, all I’ve seen is D’Israeli winning Fave Comic Artist Inks.
