Man, I thought Todd beat this Hockey loser in court? Guess I haven't been following it as much as I should have.

Hopefully, it's just so he doesn't have to pay that asshole Twist.

Though I feel that 15 million is a ridiculous sum, legalities are legalities, and sad to say,
from a legal standpoint, Twist had a case.
It's obvious that Todd who is an admitted
loooooongtime hockey fan, whether consciously or sub-consciously, got the name from the hockey player. If the comic would have kept the name "Antonio Twistelli" as is, then Todd would have had a legitimate "oops" to back him up, but once the character's name was referred to in the comic as "Tony Twist" nobody could say "oops" anymore.
To me, the guy's a loser for making a case out of this. If I was a 'has been' player, performer, whatever, I would take it as a compliment that somebody thought well enough of me to use my name in his story, be it a villainous character or not. But I guess he saw an opportunity and went for it. A shame really

agreed.
I would have given him a free subscription, and called it even. [img]wink.gif[/img]
Huh, I also thought this was already resolved years ago. I don't think it'll be long before McFarlane's business is back in tact financially. *imagines more Sports Picks flooding the shelves*
I thought, like movies, that they had that disclaimer that just cause a character has the smae name as you it don't mean it's you. If this Tony guy is a Hockey player and the Tony dude in the comic is a friggin Mob Boss......where is the corolation between the two?
The idiot can't make it in Hockey so he tryin to make a few million off Todd? Don't make sence.
Ida taken it as a compliment, even if I wasn't a Spawn fan, and personally, Im an asshole! but not so much I'd get my panties in a bunch over the use of my name...
