CR Week In Review

The top comics-related news stories from November 22 to November 28, 2014:

1. More details emerge on police authorities in Malaysia seizing credit card records of those who bought Zunar's latest book. (It's just as awful as it sounds.)

2. Official selections at Angouleme are named. It strikes me that the four lists are really English-language origin heavy, but maybe that's just me. It's not like there's been a lack of North American, Canadian and UK creators over the last several years, so I'm probably wrong.

3. Digital Manga regroups after train wreck of over-ambitiou Tezuka-related crowd-funder with first in a series of planned smaller ones, with more immediate awards that get participants to print.

Winners Of The Week
The BDAngouleme.com selection winners; that has to be cool thing to hear you're getting.

Losers Of The Week
A tie between police authorities in Malaysia and the credit card company that turned their records over despite being informed by Zunar and his hired legal team they didn't have to.

Quote Of The Week
"There is no excuse for offensive or threatening behavior." -- David Glanzer, from Comic-Con International, on a San Diego area man presenting himself as a Comic-Con volunteer aggressively tweeting at comics pro in both offensive and borderline threatening ways following the decision in Ferguson, Missouri.
