CR Week In Review
The top comics-related news stories from September 17 to September 23, 2011:
1. News reports have
Danish Cartoons caricaturist Kurt Westergaard leaving Norway and returning to Denmark after a credible threat on his life surfaced. Westergaard was in Norway for a promotional event.
2. A hearing was scheduled
for the inclusion of potential new evidence in the Michael George trial. George, a prominent retailer and convention organizer in western Pennsylvania, is being re-tried after the overturn of a 2008 conviction in the 1990 murder of his then-wife in their Michigan comic shop.
3. With every Fall comes
the inevitable article about massive disarray behind the scenes at the Angoulême Festival. Somehow, the show always comes off despite these dire rumblings, although I guess you never know.
Winner Of The Week
Ríus.
Loser Of The Week
Ziggy. Now and forever.
Quote Of The Week
"This is a Catwoman for 2011, and my approach to her character and actions reflect someone who lives in our times. And wears a cat suit. And steals. It's a tale that is part crime story, part mystery and part romance. In that, you will find action, suspense and passion. Each of those qualities, at times, play to their extremes. Catwoman is a character with a rich comic book history, and my hope is that readers will continue to join us as the adventure continues." --
