CR Week In Review

The top comics-related news stories from June 16 to June 22, 2012:

1. Matt Groening ends his Life In Hell strip, a titan of 1980s counter-culture and one of the most under-appreciated efforts of fall time.

2. Industry begins to round on the reality that Walking Dead #100 is going to sell something like a kabillion copies.

3. Continuing world attention on Syria means continuing world attention on Syrian cartoonist Al Ferzat, whose ability to draw was assaulted last August by pro-government thugs. In a new round of media engagements, Ferzat reveals that he was thrown out of a moving car after beaten, and draws on camera for I think the first time. I'm not all the way certain, but he may also have hinted that he's part of Batman, Inc.
