Gaz-L posted:Can someone explain how the licensing agreements work regarding stuff published under prior contracts? Like, IDW does reprints of Marvel's old Transformers and GI Joe books, and of old DC and Gold Key Star Trek books. How is that handled/allowed? Are the comics treated as work-for-hire, so the licensor owns them, not the publisher? Basically. The only things the publisher owns the rights to are things the publisher creates. This is what fucks up any chance of more ROM comics from anyone: ROM the character is owned by Hasbro, who's trying to stick with IDW. Literally everything else from that comic, and thus what people actually want from a new book/reprints, is owned by Marvel

X-O posted:Bunn on the other hand has written a lot of good stuff in the last few years. maybe if you don't speak english and are inventing the stories whole cloth from the pictures like i used to do with tokusatsu that hadn't been subtitled yet but remidner that he did half of that minimum carnage bullshit, which used the prometheus pit from micronauts and the microverse and some other poo poo, and it was unreadable garbage also all the deadpool minis are bad at the very best, he's aggressively mediocre (magneto, sixth gun)

plus a ghost helps dan abnett write books, and he loves mantlo's poo poo, that's two great tastes right there

his moon knight is butts, his deadpool got worse as it went on (Kills the MU was the high point and it still wasn't very good), and sixth gun manages to be criminally boring despite being a book about magic six shooters that can usher in the apocalypse in the old west that should not be possible
