Reading Challenge – 2015 Eisner Challenge

The 2015 Eisner nominations have been announced.

I’m giving myself a 4×4 challenge: Read 4 nominees (minimum) from 4 different categories. Because I’d like to expand my tastes in comics, the fourth category is to read nominees from 4 different categories. This is my progress list.

Ms. Marvel
Rocket Raccoon
The Wicked + The Divine

Best Continuing Series (3/4)

Astro City

Hawkeye

Bonus: Read one nominee from 4 other categories (3/4)

Kill My Mother (Best Graphic Album, New)
El Deafo (Best Publication for Kids, ages 8-12)

Make your own challenge!

If you want to do your own 2015 Eisner Challenge, pick as many or as few categories as you like and make your own challenge! Check out the complete list of 2015 Eisner nominees to choose your challenge list.

You set your own rules. If you want to read everything in a category, go for it! If you want to read one nominee each from selected categories, that’s great! There’s something for you, whether you like nonfiction, comedy, young readers, or adults only comics.

Challenge yourself to read more comics, whether that’s 2, 10, or 20. Newbies are welcome as well as comics gurus.

If you do give yourself a 2015 Eisner Challenge, I’d love to hear about it.
