CR Week In Review



The top comics-related news stories from January 24 to January 30, 2009:

1. Two well-regarded alternative comics series from two of the best cartoonists in the post-alternative generation announced as canceled by their creators. The culprit, or at least one of them: new minimum order expectations from Diamond.

2. The Angouleme Festival kicks off in France, with plenty to do and plenty to talk about.

3. Those still holding onto Stan Lee Media file a new suit against Stan Lee, Lee's family, Marvel and certain Marvel principals over their long-running public claim that Lee assigned rights to SLM upon its creation and never got them back, rendering his eventual deal with Marvel over movie profits moot and allowing SLM to press that claim for a more significant result.

Fans of great comics in Toronto.

Losers Of The Week
Those that enjoyed comics in various VVM publications, and the cartoonists who liked and depended on having them in there.
