Neil Gaimen kicks Todd McFarlane's Ass in Public...

...court

Spoiler:

"A federal judge has dealt another blow to Todd McFarlane in his long-running copyright dispute with Neil Gaiman, ruling that the characters Dark Ages Spawn, Domina and Tiffany are mere derivatives of their earlier creations."


Do the link for more details!

McFarlane's an embarrassment to the comics industry and I hope he gets everything that's coming to him for trying to screw Gaiman over all these years.

Gaiman's going to donate any money he ever gets from this (assuming he ever actually gets any at all) to comic charities.

I'm not a big Gaiman fan outside of his Sandman stuff, but I really like 1602.

Not to mention that Todd tried to file for bankruptcy to avoid paying out an earlier settlement. He's just a shifty sort of guy and it's a wonder that ANYone is willing to work with him at this point.

McFarlane can spends millions and millions of dollars on baseballs and hockey jerseys...but apparently he'd rather choke than pay Neil Gaiman a relative pittance for characters Gaiman created and was promised a cut of.

McFarlane sucks. 9_9
