CR Week In Review



The top comics-related news stories from August 1 to August 7, 2009:

1. A significant number of Iranian cartoonists plan to skip an important cartooning competition in solidarity with those mistreated for protesting election results.

2. Joe Simon objects to Fighting American project at new Kirbyverse home Dynamite; Kirby Family says that's okay with them and ends plans for project.

3. The convention previously known as Wizardworld Chicago gets underway as the former second-place North American show faces the pressure of a beleaguered organizer, new competition in the city, new competition generally, a changing industry. They still have that awesome Midwestern comics audience, though, to themselves for now, so don't count them out.

Loser Of The Week
Anyone who lost IQ points to this idiotic debate.
