Graphic Novels and the Strike
What's in store for the Heroes online graphic novels as the strike continues? I've got questions:
1. I dig these things like crazy and would love to have a new one every week during the strike hiatus like we got this past summer. Does anybody know if there are plans to continue them, staffing available to continue them during the strike?
2. I hate that I'm giving NBC advertising revenue when I go to download the latest graphic novel every week. Would other folks be interested in one person going to NBC.com every Tuesday to grab the URL for the pdf and sharing that here? That way we'd still get to enjoy the novels without bloating NBC's online ad revenue that they don't share with their workers. I'd be happy to be that URL-sharing person if that would be useful for people and an appropriate use of the comm. Or do y'all think it would be more ethical to just not read the graphic novels in protest, and do massive catch-up once the AMPTP settles on a fair deal?
3. Do we know whether the writers involved in creating the graphic novels get paid reasonably for that work?
