Law review: With his lawsuit against Todd McFarlane decided, Neil Gaiman moves on to address some questions about the ownership of Miracleman:

"I used to think that McFarlane actually had some rights in Miracleman. He told me he had, after all -- he'd bought what was left of Eclipse from a bankruptcy court. He never sent me any of the papers, though, after the 97 character swap, when he sent me the film for several issues of Miracleman, and then, a month after having told me that he had transferred his rights in Miracleman to me, he sneakily filed an application for the trademark on Miracleman. Then he abandoned the trademark application."

Yes, today it's all McFarlane, all the time ...
