Let it go McFarlane. For the good of all comic readers. For the good of everyone who isn't you. Let it go.

I really doubt Todd can do much at this point. If its already proven that he doesn't have Marvelman , even though he bought the assets of the bankrupt Eclipse Comics .
I think he's frustrated like anyone would be after years of believing he held them. But in fact...didn't. Marvel's deal seemed to do an end run around him and all he can do is kick the ground."Heads up-- If Havok's position in UA #5 really upset you, it's time to drown yourself hobo piss. Seriously, do it. It's the only solution." - Rick Remender

Truer words were seldom spoken. Stick to making action figures that don't move and get out of the way so that individuals who actually have talent can craft some good stories eh Toddy? Originally Posted by Kick-Ass

His initial reply when asked about the matter is to mention his lawyer? The sure sign of an utter douche.

Not an unreasonable response at all. Especially since it appears that he bought a pig in a poke. Originally Posted by howyadoin

I didn't seem to me as though he was involved in a lawsuit, it came across as though he was about to instigate a lawsuit. Originally Posted by howyadoin

if you watch this ep of ifanboy, they're pretty under the concensus, I think, that the reason for the legal woes, is because multiple parties have interest in the series. Originally Posted by Alexrules
