Missed It: Red Sonja v. Red Sonya

I don't have any commentary on this piece about a forthcoming hearing on claims by two companies surrounding the Red Sonja character, recently popular in comics again for a bunch of reasons some of which I probably don't want to explore. In fact, I had no idea there was a dispute out there, let alone that there was a character called Red Sonya that may or may not have informed Roy Thomas' long-ago insertion of a female foil for Conan into that character's popular 1970s funnybook. The notion that PR where you kind of let people maybe believe in something that might not be true is actionable is an interesting notion as well.
