CR Week In Review



Top Stories

The week's most important comics-related news stories, June 18 to June 24, 2005:

1. Panel of judges overturns Judge Charles Ramos' demand that a procedure be changed in the mediated Brian Hibbs/Marvel settlement, clearing the way for participating retailers to receive their credits by as early as mid-August; this case changed the way Marvel works with retailers.

2. Tom Toles freaks a bunch of folks out by making a cartoon that dramatically disagrees with his home newspaper's editorial stance.

3. Tokyopop's letting Sailor Moon manga license lapses, according to reports; early keystone title for company.

Winner of the Week
Jason Little, who escapes the unfair millstone of being in the ill-fated Doubleday graphic novels line with a deal for his next book at Little, Brown.

Loser of the Week
Alias Comics, with one stinkaroo of a line launch that still must reflect potential declines due to anger of retailers at the way that launch was mishandled.
