Heidi MacDonald puts the nail in the coffin of companies set up to make comics so they can sell movies with a great analysis of Radical Publishing.

Yeah, I don’t buying a GN and discovering I’m helping to finance a movie pitch. It’s sole purpose is to convince a Hollywood exec to put money towards buying the rights and making it. That I might be entertained by it is an inconsequential byproduct.

Nope. I’m a lot more careful about what books I buy now. I might have per-ordered a new book or just bought something off the shelf without really looking at it. I don’t do that anymore.

Thanks for clarifying. It’s true, companies that act in poor faith end up poisoning the well for others.
