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?

I doubt anybody on this forum has actually seen any of these contracts, but given Marvel was able to rush out a whole slew of Star Wars books onto comixology already (hilariously including the reprints of the old Marvel comic, but with the Dark Horse designed covers and hastily affixed Marvel logos), I'd say you probably hit it on the head.
