New Movie Superman’s Package Displayed for International Media
AKA -- CR WEEK IN REVIEW
Top Stories
The week's most important comics-related news stories, April 16 to April 22, 2005:
1. Apparently, Marvel
has become a licensing juggernaut.
2. March shop figures
suggest potential second-tier forming;
PW figures
suggest a slight book format slowdown and increasing differences between markets.
3. Much moving around at the cartoon syndicates: major editorial cartoonists Ann Telnaes and Jim Morin
move to C&W; John Glynn
promoted at Universal; Steve Behling
joins United.
Winner of the Week
Cartoonists and Writers Syndicate, who add Morin and Telnaes to a stable that already includes Joel Pett, making them more of a viable and not-surprising option now.
Loser of the Week
Whoever ends up on the bad end of whatever phone call results from the use of a promotional picture of Juan Carlos I
to make a piece of Magneto art.
Quote of the Week
"To take just one example: Cheshire, the poisoner and international terrorist, is also the mother of a baby whose father is the former sidekick of Black Canary's ex-boyfriend, Green Arrow, a small-time superhero, ex-junkie, and inveterate screw-up called Arsenal." -- Writer Douglas Wolk
explaining the pleasures of close attention to continuity in a way that just sounds hilarious to me.
