Ganadores de los Premios Eisner 2017
Llegamos a la época del año en que la industria del cómic norteamericano premia a lo mejor del medio. Si bien esta premiación esta sometida al panorama estadounidense, no podemos pasarla por alto, ya que es la más importante de dicho país. Este año vemos un sólido Tom King llevándose un par de premios bien interesante y Saga dominando como ha sido la constante hace ya un par de temporadas. La sorpresa la da Jill Thompson con su Wonder Woman: The True Amazon, novela gráfica que DC Comics promocionó poco a pesar de que estamos en el año de Wonder Woman, error que solventa la misma Thompson al estar en el podio de la ganadores.
