Spośród twórców najwięcej, bo aż pięć nominacji zdobył Gene Luen Yang. Po trzy nominacje otrzymali Ed Brubaker, Matt Fraction, Jeff Lemire, Adrian Tomine, James Tynion IV i Chip Zdarsky.
Teraz na nominowane komiksy i ich twórców głosować będą przedstawiciele branży komiksowej na stronie www.eisnervote.com. Głosowanie potrwa do 30 czerwca. Laureatów poznamy w lipcu, podczas wirtualnego konwentu Comic-Con@Home
