“Generations,” by Daniel Warren Johnson, in Superman: Red & Blue #5

So happy to see this.

I made a post about this specific short story a while back (got very emotional reading it):

The Superman Thread

Hey Superfans. Came to highlight a short I read in Superman Red & Blue #5. It’s the first time that a comic moves me close to tears. No I didn’t cry, but I got the feels, a lot of ‘em. It’s called “Generations”, beautifully written and drawn by Daniel Warren Johnson. Spoilers ahead. The words are spare and the concept is simple, but the result is potent. Not only did this story make me think about the role nurture plays in making Clark the hero that he is, but it also made me examine my …

Hope it takes the award.

[TheRealDetectiveChimp]

I had already read your post on it, beautifully said. I also hope that it wins, but knowing that it got nominated is a big enough win for me.

Some really awesome stuff here - that Generations story is top tier! And Wayne Family Adventures means that Stephanie Brown is an Eisner nominee!

[NYJt3]

All awesome™ stuff nominated.

[TheRealDetectiveChimp]

I was also very happy to see that Wayne Family Adventures was nominated.

[HubCityQuestion]

Glad to see so much quality being recognized. What a difference from our presence at awards 10 years ago!

[millernumber1]

What happened 10 years ago?

[HubCityQuestion]

During The New 52, hardly any DC titles were nominated for awards. It was a bit of a slump, critically.

[millernumber1]

How odd, given how high sales were at least for the first two years.

[HubCityQuestion]

There’s often a disconnect between critical and financial success.

I’m pulling for James Tynion’s THE NICE HOUSE ON THE LAKE to win Best New Series.

This is like the Oscars. It’s fun.

And yeah, I agree, critical and financial success rarely matches up.

In the case of THE NICE HOUSE ON THE LAKE though, it’s critically acclaimed, and it sold a ton…

DC's big new horror comic The Nice House on the Lake boasts over 100k pre-orders

…a very rare mix.

[CaptainYesterday]

I’ll be rooting for…

Superman: Red & Blue #5 “Generations” for Short Story
Nightwing #87 for Single Issue
Nightwing for Ongoing Series
Superman: Red & Blue for Anthology
I’d vote Alex Ross for Cover, but I didn’t read any of those books

Mark Waid, Grant Morrison, Steve Englehart and Gaspar for Hall of Fame(based on pure favortism on my part)

[ManofSteelForever]

Really happy for the Nightwing creative team! That’s such a great title!

[Clonegeek18]

Alex Ross covers never have anything to really do with the story

[Clonegeek18]

I hope that Alex Ross gets nomatinated next year for that fantastic four graphic novel he is doing

[ZINEY101]

I kinda wished Tom King’s Rorschach srries got nominated

[Jurisdiction]

Just went on a rant on my Snapchat story on who I think should win lol. I’ll send the screenshots later but I’m really excited!

My rant

[millernumber1]

Very solid picks!
