10 Times Comic Book Creators Were Screwed Over

It's easy to love comic books, even if you're only a casual fan of the movies that are made based on the characters. It's a bit harder to love the big comic book publishing companies though -and the more you learn about them, the more you have a hard time defending their actions. 

This great Top Tenz article provides ten great examples of comic book companies screwing over the creators that developed all the characters we've come to love. While you probably already heard a bit about the whole Jack Kirby issue, you might not know some of the stories, like how Marvel countersued Gary Friedrich after he lost his case against them regarding royalties for the Ghostrider movie -claiming he had no right to sell merchandise based on the character he created.

These singers each think the performance is about them, and have forgotten that the point of singing is the song. As a result, it is hard to watch. Maybe their performance style is designed for radio....

That's the whole idea behind the Simpsons, though. The point of the show is not the story, but the characters. The story has become secondary to the situations the characters get in.

adamr, it's a group of a capella singers. That's like the bagpipes of the singing world. It's almost barbershop. Annoying is what they do.
