As revealed last night at the Eisner Awards ceremony at San Diego Comic-Con,
Popgun Vol. 3 won the Eisner for Best Anthology. Big congratulations are due to my core team mates Mark Andrew Smith, Joe Keatinge, Thomas Mauer, D.J. Kirkbride, and Adam Knave, as well as the whole roster of contributing creators who made it (now officially) the best of the series so far.
This win also feels particularly special since it was the last volume I was actively involved in as Designer/Production Editor, and for that reason I've felt more invested in this one, both while working on it and since leaving the fold. I also think some of the stories I lettered for Vol. 3 turned out to be highlights of the book, so I think those creators deserve special mentions. So take a bow,
