CR Week In Review

The top comics-related news stories from July 5 to July 11, 2014:

1. DC decides that maybe it's the best course of action to allow supporters of a dead child and Superman to use the Superman logo on the kid's memorial statue.

2. Convicted child molester and old-school convention and comics figure Ed Kramer resurfaces with an actively engaged and, in the details, somewhat worrisome internet presence.

3. The Rick Remender not-really-a-controversy swirls and begins to die, revealing just how messed up our conversations can be about such things.

Winner Of The Week
Andrew Neal. Thank you, Andrew.

Loser Of The Week
Kramer, now and forever

Quote Of The Week
"San Diego's Image Expo is set to start at 2 p.m. Wednesday, July 23, at the Hilton Bayfront -- adjacent to the San Diego Convention Center and a venue for multiple official Comic-Con events. Tickets will be free for Comic-Con attendees, but limited, with information on how to attend still to come." -- from a news article about Image throwing an Expo at the Hilton the day before Comic-Con proper. Not much of a quote, but I think that move is interesting. Also irritating. I'm all for people doing satellite events, but I wish they'd told me before I canceled my Wednesday in San Diego plans.
