CR Week In Review

The top comics-related news stories from January 9 to January 15, 2016:

1. Criticism of Charlie Hebdo roars to life over Riss cartoon featuring drowned Syrian refugee child.

2. Boycott organizers claim victory in FIBD dropping Sodastream as a sponsor.

3. First serious book of the year candidate drops: Rosalie Lightning.

Winner Of The Week
CAKE. I'm all for things for artists via comics institutions, and they're early enough in their development that what they do with things like their residency and their payment of panel moderators could have been deferred.

Loser Of The Week
FIBD. I'm still irritated by how the goofball move of going 0 for 30 on a consideration call was defended and argued, and it was still in the air this week.

Quote Of The Week
"We're jumping into the New Year big-time with the announcement of our first wave of special guests for Comic-Con International 2016, to be held July 21–24 (with Preview Night on July 20) at the San Diego Convention Center." -- Comic-Con PR.
