Here's to wishing David Petersen the best of luck!
If I was a judge, he would definitely be the winner, not only because I have never heard of the other artists or books, but also because David's work on Mouse Guard is great.

Athena Voltaire is a great comic as well if you like high action pulp like stories. (Kinda like Indiana Jones)
Mouse Guard is fantastic and deserves to be recognized for it.
I haven't heard of the others.

Good luck, David.
Steve Bryant (artist of Athena Voltaire, and Manning nominee) says:
"Joelle Jones' work is gorgeous...but I think David Petersen is a lead-pipe lock."

As good as Bryant's work is, my vote would have to go to Petersen.

What is a "lead-pipe lock" ??
Sorry, I'm just an ignorant peasant (mendicant)...

That is actually a good question because this expression does not strike me as correct. People used to say "lead-pipe cinch" to refer to a sure thing. Something that was almost certain to occur.
You can also say that something is a "lock" to indicate it is certain to happen. "Lock" and "cinch" have their own usual meanings which you can look up yourself.
So that expression should have been "lead-pipe cinch" or "a lock." Perhaps by combining them the speaker is indicating extreme confidence, but it also causes confusion.

Awesome David! and greetings from Montreal. If those guys don't pic you I'll be very very angry.
I still can't believe you weren't nominated for an Eisner
