CR Week In Review

The top comics-related news stories from October 1 to October 7, 2016:

1. 1980s indie comics move and shaker Gary Reed, an initial publisher for a ton of significant comics talent, passes away.

2. NYCC 2016 launches, with its curious combination of pop-culture and traditional publishing. One billion people are expected to attend, with 237,000 couples dressed as Joker and Harley Quinn.

3. comiXology launches its originals program in modest fashion with a trio of partners.

Winner Of The Week
Reed Pop. It's hard to remember this but people actually thought New York was a difficult market in which to launch a successful show. It's a difficult market, but that's one successful show.

Losers Of The Week
Morons using someone else's comics character for meme creation that leave themselves open to be called out for appropriating someone else's character.

Quote Of The Week
"You boys over there are doing a good job." -- Fiorello LaGuardia
