Basically, a lot of third rate comics publishers are IP farms run on borrowed money, looking to score the next big Hollywood option. It's a scam, where the organizers draw a salary for a few years while hoping to strike gold on owning the next Squid Game.
If they fail, bankruptcy follows. But none of the money was theirs, so they walk away. Only creators and investors get left holding the bag. If not, ca-ching! Jackpot!
The investors and the creatives are all hopelessly converged, so I watch them fucking each other over in the bottom of the crab pot with glee anyway.
This youtube comment sums up what I think is happening.
