week, Greg taps Multiversity Comics editor & frequent RFT guest

Brian Salvatore to sit in on this week's episode, taking a look at

the recent Eisner Award 2016 nominations. But while most of the

internet chatter has been about the nominees, Greg & Brian aim

this discussion at a slightly wider angle: do the 2016 Eisner

categories really reflect where comics find themselves in 2016?

Starting with a peek behind the proverbial curtain for

Multiversity's own "Year in Review" criteria & goals, the talk

goes wider to the North American comics awards landscape: Eisners,

Harveys, and Ignatz. Find out which company had a stranglehold on

the "Best Editor" Eisner for its entire run, what awards were given

during the 1970s, why we don't give out Kirby Awards, and how to

solve a problem like contradictory categories. All that, plus a

proposal for the Kim Thompson Award and more on today's

episode!
