CR Week In Review

imageThe top comics-related news stories from March 26 to April 1, 2016:

1. Benoît Peeters loses his home in a massive apartment-building explosion in Paris.

2. Comics moves further along through an intense multi-week Spring con season with indie shows in New York and Pittsburgh.

3. DC Comics unpacked its latest line-wide relaunch with a big panel at last weekend's WonderCon. I have a heard time discerning major differences between these comics and what DC's currently publishing, but my distance from those comics may render a lot of changes imperceptible that are a big deal to readers of that material.

Winner Of The Week
Comix Experience and all the quarter-century plus comic book stores.

Loser Of The Week
Peeters. It sounds like it could have been so much worse, but one has to imagine losing a home like that is devastating. All positive thoughts to him.

Quote Of The Week
"I will get BBQ sauce on EVERY COMIC I TOUCH tomorrow at #MoCCAFest2016." -- Gil Roth, noting the proximity of this year's show to Daisy May's BBQ.
