CR Week In Review

The top comics-related news stories from August 22 to August 28, 2015:

1. Kirby Day moves more fully in the direction away of portraying the late Jack Kirby as Marvel's victim and more about making a case for him as a cultural force to be remembered and honored. 2017 should be very interesting.

2. Well-loved Brooklyn comics shop Bergen Street Comics announces a September closure.

3. Brian Grasso explains himself, on why he won't be reading Fun Home and why his university should help him identify similar potential situations.

Winners Of The Week
The people that picked up those beautiful Tarzan "Artist's Edition" book featuring Joe Kubert on the inside and one-of-a-kind solo artist covers on the outside, all for a scholarship at the Kubert School. Those were really something.

Loser Of The Week
Our educational establishment for failing students like Brian Grasso.

Quote Of The Week
"The things you enjoy are not for free -- taking things for free means that the small folk like me have to pay for your sense of entitlement to free entertainment. When you take something for free there is a human element to your theft, not to mention all the people who work behind the scenes to promote and edit the book. People who are essentially paying and losing money to create work for people to enjoy." -- Jay Gunn
