Didn't one of the ultraverse writers say a few years ago there is no pay trouble and marvel just does not want to use any of them. (like the other comic company, they bought and won't use?)If paying folks is such an issue-sell the characters back to the few living owners. Since some of those folks are deceased..
Like Hardcase's creator James Hundall. As is Ghoul's.
Who is the main person that would have to be paid? Steve Englehart? Len Strazewski? Mike Barr? Besides that other person who wrote 5 of those titles.
