CR Week In Review

The top comics-related news stories from May 7 to May 13, 2016:

1. Darwyn Cooke's family announces the artist is receiving palliative care (the popular comics-maker passes away early on May 14).

2. DC Comics releases statement about improving and expanding upon their anti-harassment policies.

3. One of the great shows of the year, TCAF gets underway with its pre-programming Friday and a week full of various satellite events.

Winner Of The Week
Cooke. He did not win the battle with cancer, but he certainly won in terms of the admiration, affection and grief expressed by friends, peers and fans.

Loser Of The Week
DC Comics. From it being disseminated on a Friday afternoon to the vague language used to its lack of a direct statement from accountable company leadership, the company's press release on harassment policy may have been most successful in raising more red flags.

Quote Of The Week
"Ed, you can either make the best comics you can or you can be a good boy for your editors." -- Darwyn Cooke to Ed Piskor, some time back
