CR Week In Review

The top comics-related news stories from August 18 to August 24, 2012:

1. The Milanese artist Sergio Toppi passed away, further adding to a devastating year in terms of losing great comics illustrators.

2. A news-filled week for veteran self-publisher Dave Sim that sees him release what could end up being the last single-issue comic book he does and then sees him lose the negatives and the scanning equipment for a planned digital version of High Society in a fire.

3. Cartoonist Larry Pickering finds himself at the center of an Australian political news story as well as a media story largely about his role in covering it.

Winner Of The Week
Stacy Curtis, for his classy goodbye to a gig he treasured but didn't really want -- inking Cul De Sac.

Loser Of The Week
Marvel, for apparently having 18,756,423 variant covers coming out this Fall in conjunction with its Marvel Now initiative.

Quote Of The Week
"Also, I think Marvel Comics is trying to kill me." -- Mike Sterling
