The Beat – More on AfterShock bankruptcy, Heavy Metal restructuring and Dead Reckoning publishing – More details on the meltdowns.

Publisher’s Weekly – Indie Comics Publishers Face Year-End Financial Troubles – Absolutely the story of the year.

The Mary Sue – How ‘Naruto’ and a PETA Court Case Could Strike a Blow Against AI Art – Good points.
