CR Week In Review

The top comics-related news stories from February 19 to February 25, 2011:

1. United Media outsources all of its syndication duties to Universal, a strong and shocking move that would have been unimaginable 15 year ago. While it's an obvious historically significant move, the effect it has on the modern comic strip industry depends on how Universal responds to these new duties -- what they make a priority, and how successful they are with those strips.

2. Dwayne McDuffie passed away in unexpected fashion. Only in his late 40s, McDuffie was a co-founder of the Milestone line, a prolific writer of comics books, a successful animation writer and producer and a respected advocate for a variety of issues.

3. Japan's leading publisher and a leading printer purchase significant stakes in Vertical, Inc.
