Devlin Thompson tells me that this comments thread at Bleeding Cool about Alan Moore's recent interview with Adi Tantimedh, a thread still active through Friday, is pretty much the ground zero of everything you've ever imagined about certain attitudes towards creators, comics, and the industry they share, up to and including why someone not giving permission to do a line of action figures is a personal attack on the person that wants that line of action figures.
I'm way too terrified to wade in, but I know some of you are braver than I am and might want the opportunity. Good luck and God speed.
