CR Week In Review

The top comics-related news stories from September 17 to September 23, 2016:

1. Gene Luen Yang wins a MacArthur Fellowship.

2. SPX wraps up another hugely successful year in Bethesda and announces dates through 2019.

3. Female cartoonists and young cartoonists dominated the Ignatz Awards, with young female cartoonist Tillie Walden winning two. Noah Van Sciver broke what I think may be the longest stretch of nominations without a win by taking one home.

Winner Of The Week
Yang.

Losers Of The Week
Those of us that can't remember our comiXology passwords. Okay, I know I promised to never make jokes like that, but I couldn't think of anyone that really stuck out as a loser other than Scott Adams' latest presidential election look-at-me antics, and I don't want to link to those. That's a resonably interesting announcement, too, Koyama going in wit the Amazon digital program like that. I thought she might drift around on the edges of that kind of commitment for a while yet.
