CR Week in Review



Top Stories
The week's most important comics-related news stories, February 12 to February 18, 2005:

1. Judge's preference for opt-in procedure on class-action suits delays mediated settlement between Brian Hibbs-led retailers and Marvel Comics.

2. LokiTorrent crushed by MPAA.

3. Israeli cartoonist Dudu Geva passes away at age 54.

Winners of the Week
The Beguiling crew, for their classy tsunami e-bay auction effort (portion of Smith/Vess piece pictured above).

Loser of the Week
Northstar, 1979-2005, Marvel's first openly gay superhero. Although except for his notably open-minded inclusion in a mid-'90s Marvel swimsuit issue with a male companion, I can't remember this fact playing any role in the comics beyond its much-mocked declaratory introduction.

Quote of the Week
"DC Comics has not yet released sales figures for the series." Unintentional humor from the New York Times.
