CR Week In Review



The top comics-related news stories from April 10 to April 16, 2010:

1. Mark Fiore wins the 2010 Pulitzer Prize.

2. Marvel announces it will move its trade distribution relationship from Diamond to Hachette.

3. Minnesota parent asking after son's library reading raises objections to Bone as a work suitable for young people.

Winners Of The Week
People that always wanted to read a longish effort from Fabrice Neaud in English.

Loser Of The Week
Wizard. Anaheim's convention may perform better than expected, but it was a bad sign for Team Shamus that Chicago media so closely followed the C2E2 version of the story about C2E2 versus Wizard's Chicago show. Plus in one of those articles Gareb Shamus busted out a 70,000 attendance figure that reminded people how much they hate Wizard's disingenuous when it comes to such reportage.

Quote Of The Week
"Cab driver on the ride back used to be a comic store owner with two locations: Smash Comics and Crash Comics. What're the odds?" -- Tom Brevoort, asking a question too depressing to answer.
