Hello, I first need to put out that I am not involved in this case in any way, but I feel it is my duty to help support what may be a landmark case.
The situation, in short, is that Mark Waid is being sued by Richard C. Meyer for interfering with the publishing of his comic Jawbreakers, losses incurred due to his influence, and defamation of character. For those paying attention, a message needs to be sent. In this literal case, the message is approaching legal procedures and this can be very costly.
Mark Waid has given us some of the greatest comic book stories. From his writings for Kingdom Come to the long running (pun intended) The Flash arcs. In his decades long career, he's worked for the giants at DC and Marvel, but is certainly not afraid to give a smaller publication a chance, working with Barry Kitson on Empire.
This Go Fund Me will, in essence, be to build up a legal war chest for the upcoming litigation. We can not allow anyone that would openly denigrate and harass PoCs and customers to continue in the comics industry that we love.
