Huh, I noticed another comic series that just started this year which is about a fictional '70s, popular comic (the sort which spawns big Hollywood movies) whose rights have been thrown into disarray because of conflicts between the original writer and illustrator, where they seem to also be separately publishing the comic-within-the-comic. (So one comic about comic book creators/industry dealing with the changing comic book landscape and another comic about superhero characters.)
It’s practically a trend… I wonder if a specific event inspired both comics, or if they’re just both generally a response to the Disneyfication of Marvel, the various rights issues it exposed and greater recognition of who gets credit or is even allowed to be part of the industry in the first place.
