I know - mine cost a fortune.

Wow, Dave, what an incredibly cool thing to say. Epic deserves a lot of the credit for providing the forum.
The most appealing part about Epic for me is obviously not their deal but Marvel's market share. There's a better chance that the book will reach readers, and if that helps comics as a whole in some very, very small way, then Epic can't be all bad. Speedy's local comic store doesn't carry CrossGen books, for example, and that store is about three feet from New York City.
Commercially brave -- perhaps commercially stupid for talking in public about granting ownership before contracts have been drawn. Although I have to admit that it does feel more like giving back to a medium I love than being screwed out of something valuable, if that's what ends up happening. Plus, I have my reputation to think about. You don't see too many subversives worried overmuch about property (unless it's someone else's that they want to redistribute).
Ask me again how it feels, Mr. Intellectual Property, after the action figures, lunchboxes, and movies come out.
Marx said property is theft, so you just keep feeling good about it.
In the meantime, if you ever need any help with your contracts, let me know. I'd be happy to give you a hand, gratis.
You seem like a good guy, and that way I'd be helping out "indies", which would make a nice change.

I always get those mixed up. Its part of being morally ambiguous.
