Superman Copyright FAQ

- Sunday, March 30th, 2008 at 4:41 AM EST
I think there’s actually a lot more good information out there about this current situation than the Superboy ruling from awhile back, but there’s enough confusion that a FAQ could probably still be useful.

I feel bad for getting Keith Moriarty’s hopes up with my “sell-out” piece, so here is a link to a comic he co-wrote with Daniel Barlow with art by Tim Hulsizer. It involves the conceit that all the dead famous people you know are secretly covert agents who were pulled back into covert ops. The […]

Ah, the joy of dropping comics from my pull list. I dropped one outright and read another but didn’t buy it, and I’m happy with my decision. It’s definitely quality over quantity this week!
What Constitutes a “Sell-Out”?
- by Brian Cronin
- Friday, March 28th, 2008 at 11:24 AM EST
In an otherwise kinda silly piece about why Brand New Day is bound for failure, a CBR poster did make a decent point regarding Marvel’s concept of what a book “selling out” is. It appears as though Marvel overprinted Amazing Spider-Man #546 by a considerable amount and planned on using this issue for promotional […]
