The Eisner Awards, the "Oscars of Comics" have announced their nominations for the current season (they follow more of a Tony Awards timetable) and the results are heavy on Image comics with Marvel scoring in the top "continuing series" category with the current run of Hawkeye. Maybe there's hope for Jeremy Renner's unloved movie hero after all? Or maybe not. It's up against last year's winner Saga.
I want to share two categories that have particular appeal to us here at Tfe. They have an adapted category (which sometimes pulls from movies) and a digital comics category and you know I keep trying to start one though admittedly I never fully commit.
Best Adaptation from Another Medium

Alois Nebel, the first feature film of director Tomáš Luňák, is a moody black-and-white animated film that diverts from the conventional rules of film form and narrative. It is based off of the Czech graphic novel trilogy, written by Jaroslav Rudiš and illustrated by Jaromír 99. The clarity of plot and the viewers’ understanding of the characters have been compromised for film’s distinct style and unusual storytelling, which may not have helped Alois Nebel to achieve great results.
Those who have knowledge of the history of Czechoslovakia of the twentieth century will have a better understanding of this film’s setting and its relationship to the storylines. Alois Nebel is set in the Czech-Polish border Sudetenland in 1989, when the Communist regime of Czechoslovakia fell. The life of Alois Nebel (Miroslav Krobot), a middle-aged train dispatcher, correlates to this setting. He is a loner who is very comfortable with his routine life.

Premiering in Venice and Toronto, Czech animated feature Alois Nebel is one of the more intriguing animation projects to arrive on screens in recent years. Adapted by director Tomáš Luňák from the dark graphic novels by Jaroslav Rudiš and Jaromír 99 and shot in a rotoscope style similar to the technique used for Waking Life - which is why the observant among you may recognize the face of Karel Roden up above - this is gorgeous animated work for adult audiences.The end of the eighties in the twentieth century. Alois Nebel works as a dispatcher at the small railway station in Bílý Potok, a remote village on the Czech-Polish border. He's a loner, who prefers old timetables to people, and he finds the loneliness...

We first caught wind of Czech animated feature Alois Nebel all the way back in 2008. Producers and director Tomáš Luňák promised a rotoscoped adaptation of the popular graphic novels by Jaroslav Rudiš and Jaromír 99 and they had released an animation test that was enough to convince that this could be something very special indeed. It's now three years later, production is coming to a close with the film targeting an October 2011 release in the Czech Republic, and the first official teaser has just arrived. And, good lord, this is fabulous.The end of the eighties in the twentieth century.
