The top comics-related news stories from March 15 to March 21, 2008:

1. Prominent Pennsylvania retailer and con organizer Michael George found guilty of charges, including murder, stemming from the 1990 killing of his then-wife, Barbara, in their Michigan comics store. He faces life without parole. George will appeal.

2. A Bangladeshi court releases the cartoonist Arifur Rahman.

3. The latest tape from Osama Bin Laden includes his thoughts on the Danish cartoons.

Winner Of The Week
Kazu Kibuishi

Loser Of The Week
I was going to say DC Comics, but honestly, they sell half the copies they sold in February and they probably wouldn't trade places with Michael George.
