Some additional items by Canadians coming out in February (in the December Previews) that I want to point out as well:

DC – Batman and Robin 8 & 9 – concludes Cameron Stewart’s three-issue arc as artist.

DC/VERTIGO – Y the Last Man Deluxe Hardcover Vol. 3 – features artwork by Joe Shuster Award-Winning artist Pia Guerra.

Marvel – Fantastic Four by Jonathan Hickman Vol. 1 Premiere Hardcover — features artwork by Dale Eaglesham.

Marvel – New Avengers Vol. 12: Power Loss Premier Hardcover – features artwork by Stuart Immonen.

I have no doubts that Eaglesham and Immonen will both be considered strongly in the artist category for the 2009 comics material reprinted in these collections.
