Previously On #111: 2020 Eisner Votes!
The Eisners are the most well known awards in the comic book industries, selecting the best of comics since 1988, and named in honor of all time great cartoonist Will Eisner. Like all awards ceremonies, they share the trappings of imperfect systems, but winning an Eisner is clearly reason to celebrate for comic book creators and those in the industry.
After seeing a handful of creators and comics-industry folks sharing requests to vote for their work, I was surprised at the apparent openness of voting, like the Eisners were decided ala the NBA All-Star game fan vote.

The 8 Best Justice League Stories (Modern DC Era)!
The Justice League are the premier superhero team in all of comics. The first on the scene, and one that consists of some of the strongest and most interesting heroes to ever grace comics. While there are primary team members, such as the original seven, Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Flash, Aquaman and Martian Manhunter, the Justice League roster has found itself expanded in a number of stories and even across mediums. Including both the live action film, and the Justice League/Justice League Unlimited cartoons.
As such, Justice League stories can vary heavily in how the team’s dynamics change, or in the types of adventures they encounter. Because of this, there is a Justice League story for every type of reader, and for every mood they are in. If you were to explore the Silver or Bronze age of Justice League, you’d come across such amazing stories as Joker convincing the world that the Justice League are evil. Or the numerous crossovers between Earth-One and Earth-Two. Stories that steep heavily into the DC Universes pre-Crisis mythology. All fantastic and worth checking out, if you’re prone to picking up collected editions. Here are just a few of the amazing stories the Justice League have to offer from a more modern era.
