The tablet wars have begun. Superheroes are the prize — or perhaps the victim.

Amazon, seeking to make its coming Kindle Fire tablet as appealing as possible, negotiated a deal with DC Comics for the exclusive digital rights to a hundred popular graphic novels. Among the series: Superman, Batman, Green Lantern, the Sandman and Watchmen. Barnes & Noble, with a tablet of its own to nurture, did not like this one bit. Two weeks ago it removed all the copies of the...

DC Comics, a division of Warner Brothers, says it is being misunderstood. But on its own Web site, it said the books would be available “exclusively to Amazon’s newly announced Kindle Fire,” with no qualification. Even the possibility that fans could have access to the books on their iPads through the Kindle app seemed disallowed. DC now says the books will be available on other...

"In 1992, Neil Gaiman created Medieval Spawn and Angela, a warrior angel, for Todd McFarlane's up-and-coming Spawn comic. Years later, the characters "Dark Ages Spawn" and "Tiffany and Domina" debuted in Spawn. McFarlane must now pay Gaiman for these derivatives...In her decision on July 29, US District Judge Barbara Crabb ruled that McFarlane owes Gaiman money for these derivative characters. Furthermore, McFarlane must produce info pertaining to how much he owes Gaiman by September 1. Crabb's decision makes for some wonderfully surreal legal reading as she's ridiculously well-versed on all things Spawn. Here's her take on the Angela vs. Domina and Tiffany dispute..."

Love this part; I'd almost want to see this judge write a Spawn book: "If defendant really wanted to differentiate the new Hellspawn, why not make him a Portuguese explorer in the 16th century; an officer of the Royal Navy in the 18th century, an idealistic recruit of Simon Bolivar in the 19th century, a companion of Odysseus on his voyages, a Roman gladiator, a younger brother of...

Hmm...I'm pretty sure the Dark Ages, and the Middle (Medieval) Ages are two completely different time periods.

From comments there: "what does it say about Todd when the judge can be more creative when it comes new character creation? "

Yeah, the first thing I did when I read the judge's decision was to see if she had written any books. She hasn't.
