CR Week In Review

imageThe top comics-related news stories from August 29 to September 4, 2015:

1. comiXology picks up Weekly Shonen Jump and book volumes from Kodansha. This gives them multiple strong books and avenues suitable for further outreach.

2. Discussion of a Milt Priggee cartoon reveals that even a polite conversation may seem to have an undercurrent of ill will.

3. The building that houses individual copies of Cerebus -- over a thousand of some issues -- is being closed and razed, forcing a potential massive comic book giveaway.

Winner Of The Week

Loser Of The Week
Anyone that insists, even gently, that a newspaper or cartoonist must make public its loyalty to anything it also criticizes.

"You don't have to let your dream murder you." -- Steve Brodner
