2026 Eisner Awards Predictions
Final scoresComics' biggest night, July 24 at San Diego Comic-Con. DC's Absolute line dominates the nominations — Absolute Batman, Absolute Wonder Woman, and Absolute Martian Manhunter are everywhere — but Image (Department of Truth, Assorted Crisis Events), Fantagraphics, Marvel, and the indies are all in the mix. Pick the winners across the marquee categories and call which publisher walks away with the most trophies. Voting is already closed, so this is pure crystal-ball stuff.
