CR Week In Review

The top comics-related news stories from May 28 to June 3, 2011:

1. DC announces an ambitious line re-launch, which they will pursue in both traditional print and through same-day digital releases. They further announce the first 11 books to be published in the line, starting with a Geoff Johns/Jim Lee Justice League book. Details slip out about incentives to Direct Market retailers and about the price point on the digital books. Coverage/Commentary: 1, 2, 3 4.

2. Richard Thompson of Cul De Sac wins The Reuben during the NCS' yearly meeting, this time in Boston. He spent his awards speech cruelly mocking the runners-up. Okay, not really.

3. The trial of Tahawwur Rana finishes the prosecutor's go with four days of testimony from David Coleman Headley and a follow-up day of FBI agents buttressing details from Headley's testimony. Rana is accused of partnering with Headley in order to help carry out various nefarious plots including an attack on Danish Cartoons headquarters the newspaper Jyllands-Posten. Case going well enough for Rana that lawyers are expected not to have him testify.
