“I’ll get you my pretty!” is what it looks like she’s saying!

I literally just supported this Alex Ross cover, which happens to be my 1b favorite image of all time (1a being Silver Surfer #4 cover)

Does she sign them as Elvira, or Cassandra?

These 2 sound like they might be ok.

This has to be copyright infringement right?

Maybe, seems like it falls under derivative works but I think they’d still need to get permission, so yes, someone from both DC and Marvel could come after them if they did not get permission.

Also most of this art looks like it’s just AI generated…

They could claim it’s a parody and probably get away with it.

It’s the parody paradox. This seems like it would be covered under parody just the same way Adam Hughes earliest Work was on derivative works but covered under parody

The other thing that occurs to me is the can claim it is fan created or artist created for personal use. Remember, you don’t buy anything on Kickstarter. You fund projects. Anything you receive from Kickstarter is a reward for funding a project at a certain level. And even then the rewards are not guaranteed. So who knows. Would make an interesting court case.

To add to the paradox, Disney suing would draw more attention to it. If copyright infringements are barely making any money or could be argued as parody/private use/whatever it is maybe best to just ignore it. Like how Disney didn’t bother suing that guy who filmed a horror movie with scenes in the park without their permission, figuring the least amount of press it got the better. It barely made an impact as a result.

Someone mentioned the Kickstarter for this one, it is in this months comic catalog

Does anyone know if board games are good to flip? I’m assuming it all depends on whether they are limited. I know Invincible has a decent following and I wonder if this KS would be worth it?

Flip, not really. Long term more likely but it all depends but it’s not as big as other collectibles since most board games get played and not preserved in boxes, etc.

I became an avid board gamer lately in the past 3 years and I haven’t really seen any upside to flipping them or even buying in hopes they increase in value over time.

I’ve sold three board games in the past 4 or so years. One was Fireball Island. Another was a Star Wars game that came out around Episode II. And I sold a Buck Rogers game from the late 80’s or maybe early 90’s. The Star Wars game was sealed. The other two were complete but used. All went for between $100 and $300 dollars. There are some sought after games but I only discovered people were interested in those by randomly searching eBay looking to see if what stuff I had was worth anything. Otherwise, I would not have known.

I just backed this. It looks good, it’s almost funded.
