And The Winner Is… Here Are The Folks That Took Home Eisners Last Night

Last night the comic industry gave out the prestigious Eisner Awards. The Comicon folks were kind enough to put up a complete list of winners and we had our own Hannah Means-Shannon on site taking photos. The awards are the industry equivalent to the Oscars with awards presented by The Nerdist's Chris Hardwick, TV personality and writer Jonathan Ross, best selling author Neil Gaiman and actors John Barrowman and James Marsters.

But what would an Eisner post be without "The Kiss"…
