Last year, a great deal of scuttlebutt was going around about action lab entertainment treating creators badly, delaying payments, as well as abusing contract terms. (A prolonged summary can be discovered at women compose about Comics.)
Now it has been reported that “Nearly 40 material creators have signed on to a suggested class action in which they allege beleaguered comic book publisher action lab entertainment has fallen far short of satisfying a laundry listing of contractual obligations.” These obligations include timely payment, promotion, accounting, as well as communication. “[T]he suggested class action paints a photo of a terminally mismanaged comic book publisher who allegedly failed to do right by its material creators at even the most fundamental level.”
A big part of this conflict is that action lab would obviously promise creators print publication, then release the books only in digital form. They would likewise decline to provide documentation around sales, especially those made at conventions. They likewise shut down during the pandemic without notifying creators. A full copy of the complaint is at the link above.
Remember, there are a great deal of tools offered to comic creators today. before you indication on with a publisher, make sure you understand what they are appealing to do, as well as that they can do it much better than you can.
