im correct A LOT More than im not....and i know this is the x-board but there is so so so so so much more to teh spencer leaving spidey suprised rich hasnt said anything ....might come out when his run is over.....
also a lot of people who post here have no clue on how the comic biz works .Do yourself a favor an either work at a comic store work for a comic book company or self publish. One thing and this is marvel policy since joe took over when a book is canceled and the creators are notified they are legally forbidden from saying it until a certain point ...just look at cable after they announced issue 12 would be the last the numbers for the last 3 issues were so so low its insane while cable reloaded is selling almost 5x as much. Also for lower tier books the bean counters and comic book people can tell 2 or 3 issues in that book willl not last,, way of x when 5 issues you switch to a one shot with a new number 1 you know its over.
also i mentioned new mutants it may still return with a new # 1 shortly i mentioned this before but marvel becasue of certain copyright deals becasue of malibu and otehr things always has to publish a book with mutants in hte title to keep exclusive rights to the copyright
Ummm...no one can claim copyright on the word mutant/mutants even in a title as I understand copyright law.
***********************************
Are all names copyright?
Well, they can copyright, and even have as trademarks, any names that are invented names. Disney made their own names for the Seven Dwarfs. So you can have Snow White doll, called Snow White if she doesn't look identical to Disney's 1937 design, but you can't call your dwarfs the same names.*
Oddly though you can't copyright the title of a book.
Yes, you need to avoid made up names of DC / Marvel other comics. But they can't stop you using real names that they use.
Don't use a rare real name. I forget which book was reprinted when the woman sued. I search names to make sure that there are thousands of hits of different people, but no famous people.
[*The story Bros Grimm wrote or collected doesn't name any of the dwarves]

The artist of Way of X made a comment on Twitter that makes it seem it is done.
That New Mutants cover is like, 'What? Farouk's head is full of angry gorillas?'
I don't even. I'm gonna have to read it just to see what.
The messages are always vague, probably because writers and artists aren’t allowed to give away that info; but Bob has tried to be honest about it. He said ‘I think the book is TECHNICALLY ending at the onslaught revelation??’ But emphasized he’s not privy to publishing schedules.
But the statement could mean anything, it could be a one and done, a set up for a new book or the characters need to be passed along to other books. The writer is now working on something new so whatever it is, I doubt Spurriers involved and Bob certainly isn’t.
