CR Week In Review

The top comics-related news stories from April 2 to April 8, 2011:

1. In something of a surprise turn of events, Tintin Au Congo can now be tried for racism.

2. Village Voice comics issues contains article about sucky pay for cartoonists; 'fesses up in passing that they aren't paying many of that issue's contributors, either. Massive, nationwide rolling of eyes leads to promise of payment -- although ironically, now they're paying for work that the cartoonists felt comfortable offering to them for free.

3. WonderCon comes and goes like the classy, quiet, super-successful comics show it seems to be year-in and year-out.

Winners Of The Week
It's Eisner season.

Losers Of The Week
Everyone who loves great art comics, if things continue to Vinko Bogataj over at L'Association.

Quote Of The Week
"Happy about the 2 Eisner noms for YNK Book II: Collateral Damage. Especially because of 'The Hannah Story,' which is about the death of my sister Ann. She has been the guiding force behind YNK. So I see these nominations as a way of honoring her short, bright life. Trying to win it for you, sis." -- Carol Tyler
