The top comics-related news stories from January 12 to January 18:

1. Western Standard publisher Ezra Levant brought up in front of Alberta Human Rights Commission for publishing the Danish cartoons in his publication back in 2006; he's not happy about it.

2. The temporary hybrid new/old version of FBoFW wasn't intended to last forever; end may be closer than we think.

3. The retailer group ComicsPRO releases a position paper on pre-sales of comics by publishers before they're available in the DM. They're against it.
