Business | Following weeks (if not months) of rumblings, Warner Bros. has made it official: Jeff Robinov, the Warner Bros. Pictures Group president who oversaw the 2009 restructuring of DC Comics into DC Entertainment, will leave the studio following a reorganization that establishes a new leadership team: Sue Kroll, president of worldwide marketing and distribution, Greg Silverman, president of creative development and worldwide production, and Toby Emmerich, president and chief operating officer of New Line Cinema. It doesn't appear as if Robinov will be replaced. DC Entertainment President Diane Nelson, who initially reported Robinov, presumably will answer directly to Warner Bros. CEO Kevin Tsujihara; following a shakeup last month in the television and home entertainment division, Nelson reported to both Robinov and Tsujihara. [The Hollywood Reporter]
Legal | Thai editorial cartoonist Somchai Katanyutanant, who draws under the pseudonym Chai Rachawat, reported to the Metropolitan Police on Monday to acknowledge charges of defamation, insulting a public official and violation of the Computer Crimes act, all stemming from a comment he posted on his Facebook page that criticized Thai Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra. Rachawat's supporters came to the police station to offer encouragement; the police had threatened, via the media, to arrest him if he did not come in voluntarily. [The Bangkok Post]

Retailing | The singly named Bishop, owner of M&I Comic Heaven in White Plains, New York, gives the perspective from his side of the counter: Digital comics haven't hurt sales, because even people who read comics digitally like the full-page experience of print; comic book movies haven't really helped sales; and all those moms who threw away their kids' comics are responsible for the high values of older comic books—although newer titles won't ever achieve that level of scarcity.
