I am not familiar with this case, but copyright law is just a few years away from getting changed again, most likely with more decades being added to a copyright.
The Steamboat Willie Mickey Mouse copyright expires in 2023. A lot of politicians on both sides will be recieving large "campaign contributions" from Disney very soon.

It's about time Disney lost a case. Steamboat Willie belongs to EVERYONE now.
Is it just me, or is Godspeed a ridiculous name for a supervillain? I buy Flash for my son, and I since it was in the house I thought I'd give it a shot. When I got to the big spash-page reveal of the new villain, and the caption simply said “Godspeed,” I laughed out loud. I had to put the book down, I was laughing so hard. I kept hearing him as a 19th Century British gentleman seeing his friend off in his horse-drawn carriage. “Godspeed to you, sir. Godspeed.”
There is no better indication that they have run out of good superhero/supervillain names than this.

Villain: "Okay, I'm a speedster, and I'm all down for the evil. Gotta think of a cool speed-based name! I shall be...PROFESSOR ZOOM!" Henchman: "Taken" Villain: "Okay....just Zoom then!" Henchman: "Also taken." Villain: "Well, my suit's kinda black. I'll be THE BLACK RACER!" Henchman: "Ta-" Villain: "Yeah, yeah I got it. How about Whizzer?" Henchman: "Taken, different company, and it sounds like your superpower involves peeing." Villain: "Dammit. How about that Hindu god of speed? Savita...something." Henchman: "Savitar. Taken." Villain: "Shit! I need some kind of impressive speed-based name! Is anything available? Anything at all?" Henchman: "Well..."

Ok since Marvel has Speedball I'm going to help DC out. They can use some variation of these, think of it as an updated name for a more modern audience
Crystal Super Ice Getgo Crank
Now if they really wild We can mix both old and new and call him (assuming Godspeed is a boy) Twister (crack+meth)
I now have to clear my search history since I googled "meth names"
Edit 2: poop I came up with the perfect DC speedster Cryces (pronounced Crisis), speed kills and Cryces kills speed.

CBR finally got a list of Guide to the Guide to Comics (the review of old Wizard magazines by the guy from not blog x)
Which brings me to Stephen Platt... Wizard loved this guy. I've read his Prophet issues; I get that he does huge machine gun toting mfers with the very best of them. But you can't understand a thing that is going on in his art. You can disparage many artists in the image age for this, but he is the worst I've ever read (including Rob, the Lee "brothers", and anyone else). Even knowing this I really want to read his matv Spector issued (around 55); I want to see what caused the hubbub. Come on Marvel Unlimited get on this.
Edit: Rob claims he paid Platt $40,000 an issue to draw Prophet. The money getting thrown around in the 90s.

I liked what Platt started doing when he first came on Moon Knight. He showed promise, and when restrained, it was exceptional...
...but it quickly devolved...
...into something almost (but not quite) as bad as Rob Liefeld (imo).

Ironically, now he is a storyboard artist where the art doesn't matter very much, but the storytelling is everything. You wouldn't even recognize his storyboards as being done by the same artist.

Now that is interesting; I'm going to try to find some. He did a lot of Marvel variants a few years back that were very restrained compared to his image work. I'm sure you can google them, but I thought that they looked okay.
I just ran across this video... with a smarmy and chill Harlan Ellison (and his ego) introducing exclusive interviews with the cream of the crop of comics creators, as they were 30 years ago. The most interesting thing, I think, is the "statement" read by what I presume to be Ditko, himself. Outside of that old flexi-disc recording from the early 60's, this may be the only other recording of him.

I've been through losses I'm glad I wasn't in my college years for that one.
That loss might have been the ultimate GA sports loss I've lived through. First it was ugly Second it was at Boston's hands. Atlanta has been here with Boston for so many years.
How do the Falcons not run the ball 3 straight times from the 22, killing the clock in the process, and then hitting a chip shot FG to ice the Super Bowl? What a bunch of maroons.

Love that film. The "remake" does not exist.

First it was ugly
Second it was at Boston's hands. Atlanta has been here with Boston for so many years.
So I don't hate the pats. I don't even dislike them, but Malcolm Mitchell is dead to me.
