Which would include dealing with Marvel Comics in any capacity . And as a funny book creator , that may be a pertinent issue when it comes to who owns or owes what .
The exceptions are " any claim within the jurisdiction of a small claim court ordered with the jurisdictional and dollar mark limit that may apply , so long as it is an individual dispute and not a class action " , so you could sue them for modest claims , but not as part of a wider group . Another exception that may have been missed by Mark Waid is " any dispute colligate to the ownership or enforcement of intellectual property rights . " But even so , " No party will attempt to have a dispute see as a class action at law or private lawyer universal action mechanism or in any other legal proceeding in which any party acts or proposes to act in a representative capacity . "
