CR Week In Review
The top comics-related news stories from May 21 to May 27, 2011:
1. The cartoonist, publisher and designer Jean-Christophe Menu
resigns from the seminal alt-comics French-language company L'Association after news late last week that the comopany had reformed around a few other co-founders in officerships. Menu was the longtime primary publishing force at the company. This ends nearly a half-year of bitter, direct struggle, and a significant amount of acrimony stretching back years.
2. The Tahawwur Rana trial
begins, including testimony from the admittedly guilty former Rana running mate David Coleman Headley
3.
News broke of a Somerville, Massachusetts retailer being declared dead at a local hospital after being found in home. He was believed to have been poisoned, although whether by his own hand or another was not made 100 percent clear.
Winners Of The Week
The comics folk
rallying to help in Joplin, Missouri.
Loser Of The Week
Book Expo America, the (mostly) prose publishing convention that has basically slipped past the point where anyone in comics pays much attention to it.
Quote Of The Week
"Actual comment on a website explaining a payment option: 'I would like to get it all for free, otherwise you will not get my business.' Actually, if you get it all for free, we won't have your business either." --
