O Eisner Awards 2026 revelou os indicados às 32 categorias do prêmio, nesta quinta-feira (14). De acordo com dados da organização, neste ano, a premiação reúne mais de 170 títulos de cerca de 75 editoras. A edição 2026 considera elegíveis obras publicadas nos EUA ao longo do ano de 2025. A cerimônia de premiação acontece no dia 24 de julho, durante a programação da San Diego Comic Con.
A DC continua detendo o posto do ano passado, como a editora com mais obras indicadas, seguida pela Image Comics e pela Fantagraphics. Deniz Camp foi o quadrinista mais mencionado, com cinco indicações, seguido por James Tynion IV, com quatro. Juni Ba, Javier Rodriguez, Jesse Lonergan, Linnea Sterte, Kelly Thompson e Eric Zawadski concorrem a três categorias cada.
A lista conta com vários brasileiros concorrendo ao prêmio. Matheus Lopes concorre como Melhor Colorista por “Batman and Robin: Year One” e “The Seasons”, ambas obras inéditas no Brasil. É o segundo ano consecutivo que o colorista concorre à categoria.
Já Mateus Manhanini está indicado a Melhor Capista por diversos trabalhos, entre eles as capas de “Absolute Superman”, “Absolute Mulher-Maravilha” e “Tempestade”.
Há ainda artistas brasileiros que, apesar de não terem sido indicados a categorias específicas do Eisner 2026, têm trabalhos concorrendo ao prêmio. É o caso do desenhista Lucas Werneck e do colorista Alex Guimarães, por “Tempestade”, quadrinho que concorre a Melhor Série Regular; do colorista Frank Martin, por “Absolute Batman”, que também concorre a Melhor Série Regular; e do colorista Adriano Lucas, de “Ghost Pepper”, indicado a Melhor Nova Série.
