Como é de costume em toda San Diego Comic-Con, acontece o Eisner Awards, premiação dos melhores quadrinhos, que inclui todas as editoras de quadrinhos, como a DC Comics, Marvel, Dark Horse, Image Comics e diversas outras que publicam suas bandas desenhadas. Dessa vez, a premiação aconteceu de forma remota, já que o evento está sendo todo online por conta da pandemia do Coronavírus.
O Eisner Awards 2020 contou com a apresentação de Phil LaMarr, dublador do Lanterna Verde na série animada da Liga da Justiça, tendo a abertura da administradora do Eisner, Jackie Estrada, que também encerrou a cerimônia. O Eisner Awards premiou, em 31 categorias, quadrinhos publicados no ano de 2019 e contou com um total de seis juízes.
