Top Stories

The week's most important comics-related news stories, April 9 to April 15, 2005:

1. The conviction for the blasphemous qualities of Das Leben Des Jesus is overturned in Greece in such a lighthearted manner it almost makes you forget how serious this case was.

2. DC announces cuts of Humanoids and 2000 AD lines after fans notice they weren't solicited.

3. John Taddeo buys Acclaim characters, including rights to some older comics, but not all of the characters and maybe not some of the titles.

Winner of the Week
Indy Magazine, to my memory only the second on-line work to be nominated in a traditional Eisner Awards category.

Losers of the Week
Fans of line-based illustration, with the passing of Andre Francois this past Monday.

Quote of the Week
"He is a great man." -- Ralph Steadman in 2002 on Andre Francois.

This week's picture: Black Vulcan (not Lightning, sorry, Tony) at an Adult Swim party discussed on Mike Manley's blog. Link through the picture.
