CR Week In Review

The top comics-related news stories from September 14 to September 20, 2013:

1. SPX 2013 comes and goes, with all the attention on small press comics makers that usually arrives with it.

2. Gilbert Hernandez wins the Pen USA graphic literature award as his next book is announced.

3. Wizard World doubles its convention slate, a sign of the general appeal of conventions right now and the specific attraction of Wizard's TV and movie actor driven strategy to a lot of markets.

Winner Of The Week
Beto

Losers Of The Week
Young cartoonists who didn't go to SPX. I read more posts from younger cartoonists yearning to be at this show than any show in recent memory.

Quote Of The Week
"whenever i feel like slowing down, i think about how my favorite living cartoonist is still putting out, like, seventy books a year" -- Michael DeForge
