Yesterday, the Eisner Awards 2023 Nominations were announced, ahead of the ceremony for the Friday night of San Diego Comic-Con. Here are the reactions of some of the comic book creators and industry professionals who were nominated, on social media… click through to see more about their nominated work. And we begin with the most-nominated creator, Zoe Thorogood.

Zoe Thorogood: Uhh… So.. I'm nominated for 5 Eisners this year. I'm a little overwhelmed but here's a quick but genuine thank you all for your support that allows me to keep creating. Truly. Not expecting to win any of these bastards but just to be nominated means the world, much love. I was going to post a photo of me on the toilet instead but mum told me not to

Alex Antone: 4 Eisner noms… I've peaked. But seriously, read these books…I think they're quite good, and now you don't just have to take my word for it!

Pat Brosseau: Here's the exciting news I received last week which I can now share! After decades and decades of toiling away at this lettering thing I finally have the honor of being nominated for an Eisner! I'm super happy just to be nominated and congrats to my fellow nominees!

Gerry Duggan: Today the Eisner Nominations were announced and I was very happy for Dave Weilgosi & Jessica Berbey at DC were nominated for their work editing BATMAN: ONE BAD DAY. It was a privilege to work again with one of my favorite collaborators, Matteo Scalera on Batman once again. He and I collaborated with Scott Snyder on Batman #34 when Greg Capullo needed a break and it remains one of my favorite one and done comics…until FREEZE: ONE BAD DAY.

Colleen Doran: Honestly, CHIVALRY is one of the most personal and important projects I have ever done in my life, getting the Eisner nom for Best Adaptation for this is really special to me, thank you. Thanks @neilhimself Todd Klein and @DarkHorseComics

Tom Taylor: Oh, damn. Our #Nightwing has been nominated for the Eisner for Best Continuing Series for the 2nd year in a row! Congrats to our whole team, @Bruno_Redondo_F , @jesswchen , Adriano Lucas, Wes Abbott, @DiNicuolo_ , @geraldohsborges and Jess Berbey.

Rantz offered me space in the book for my 1st writing gig, I drew it while i waited for my radiation treatment. Delighted to be there & honoured to be part of the nominated team. The Department of Truth has also received an Eisner nomination for best continuing series. I was lucky enough to draw a bit of that. Huge thanks to James, Martin and Steve for having me on board, honoured to be there, & specific thanks to James for writing to give me the space.
