CR Week In Review

The top comics-related news stories from June 4 to June 10, 2011:

1. Chicago businessman Tahawwur Rana found guilty on two charges, one related to a planned attack on Danish Cartoons publication Jyllands-Posten that never came off, but involved decapitating staffers.

2. The Malaysia cartoonist Zunar announces his intention to sue his government and its police for next week over an instance of harassment and detention surrounding the release of a satirical cartoon book.

3. DC Comics finishes the initial content offering announcements for its 52-book relaunch with a curiously timed Friday afternoon announcement of Superman-related titles almost certainly intended to negotiate their loss of Superman character elements to the families of the original creators.
