I’d like to tell you that this week we only have fluffy, happy, good news and a basket of puppies for every reader, but unfortunately this is Comics. So instead, you’ll be getting the standard, “abandon hope all ye who enter here” treatment. The week started with Stan Lee’s business manager and partner Keya Morgan…

Comics news was like a fireworks show this week: Right around the time your vision cleared from the first whizbang, a new tidbit popped up to distract you.

Previously On Comics: Charity and Foolishness
Most important things first: Noted comics creator Jon Rosenberg could use your help. Jon’s son Alec was born premature, and has cerebral palsy as a result of complications from that. He needs spinal surgery, and Jon’s insurance won’t cover the year of therapy Alec will need after that to relearn how to walk. They’re nearly…
Previously, On Comics: Festivals, Fashion, and Phoenix
As the first day of autumn approached this week, the comics world planned multiple comic cons, engaged in fashion discussion, and announced the return of a beloved X-Men character from a time long past.

Previously On Comics: Say What You Mean, Mean What You Say
Last week, on 9/11, G.I. Joe writer Aubrey Sitterson shared some rather charged opinions about that day and the United States’ collective response to it. Because this is comics, everyone who heard this opinion did so calmly and shared an equally calm reacti–ahahahahahahaha. No, of course, there’s a campaign to get him fired. Disingenuous sorts…
Previously On Comics: Awards and Demerits
What happened in comics last week? Howard Chaykin. Again. After Image Comics pulled the cover to Divided States of Hysteria #4 and issued a public statement that was underwhelming in its own right, Chaykin decided to double down, contradicting even that statement in an interview with the website Freaksugar. In it, Chaykin defends his work vehemently, showing…
