Red Sonja, LLC Threatens Legal Action Against Antarctic Press Over Parody

OK, yeah, I goofed. Well, we all did. Howard's character was named Red Sonya, but the character invented by Roy Thomas and subsequently published by Marvel and Dynamite is spelled Red Sonja. As far as copyright claims go, this one was even more tenuous than I originally thought. I guess the threat of lawsuit was all it took, even though AP was 100% in the clear. Even with the chainmail bikini. It's been about two years since I stopped watching Comicsgate YouTube, but the US comic book industry is fucking UGLY. Bunch of spiteful, backstabbing crabs in a bucket.

EDIT: Yeah, and it's called Red Sonja LLC, akshually.
