It's estimated by Mindshare North America that expenditures on eSports will reach over a billion dollars in 2019. Some of the biggest celebrity players in eSports make six figures. eSports is a growing part of the gaming landscape, and is not going away any time soon.”- Carrie Rogers-Whitehead, Digital Citizenship: Teaching Strategies and Practice from the Field NETFLIX AND FANDOMS • Netflix has made older shows popular and brought new audiences to certain genres • It has greatly increased it’s original content, creating new fandoms NETFLIX AND ANIME Netflix is the exclusive distributor of lots of anime Netflix has brought back popular shows like Evangelion Netflix has popularized many anime Netflix Originals aren’t created by Netflix, but Netflix has the exclusive rights such as: Ajin, Castlevania etc. CURRENT POPULAR ANIME • My Hero Academia- Shonen adventure story about superheroes • Attack on Titan- Shonen action with humans fighting giants • Isekai- Which are stories where people are transported to video games, or even reserve isekai where video games players are in the real world • KonoSuba- Isekai with goddesses and an ordinary teen boy • One Punch Man- Shonen about a hero who destroys things with just one punch • Dr. Stone- dystopian series in the future where people are turned to stone OTHER STREAMING FANDOMS Good Omens Runaways Westworld Amazon Prime Hulu HBO Now DISNEY OWNS MARVEL, STAR WARS, DREAMWORKS, PIXAR AND 21 ST CENTURY FOX DISNEY PLUS Shows coming up on Disney Plus (so far): • Star Wars: Clone Wars • Mandalorian • Loki • WandaVision • Hawkeye • Mighty Ducks and Sandlot reboot • Monsters at Work • Muppets Revival • Lots more… PODCAST FANDOMS Nightvale Alice isn’t Dead The Bright Sessions OG of fictional podcasts spanning a Quirky podcast spinoff from Nightvale Fictional recorded therapy sessions wide fandom, international tour and creator with a Dr. Bright.

    ‘Yes, But What Have You Done for Me Lately?’: Intersections of Intellectual Property, Work-for-Hire, and The Struggle of the Creative Precariat in the American Comic Book Industry © 2019 By Ora Charles McWilliams Submitted to the graduate degree program in American Studies and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Co-Chair: Ben Chappell Co-Chair: Elizabeth Esch Henry Bial Germaine Halegoua Joo Ok Kim Date Defended: 10 May, 2019 ii The dissertation committee for Ora Charles McWilliams certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: ‘Yes, But What Have You Done for Me Lately?’: Intersections of Intellectual Property, Work-for-Hire, and The Struggle of the Creative Precariat in the American Comic Book Industry Co-Chair: Ben Chappell Co-Chair: Elizabeth Esch Date Approved: 24 May 2019 iii Abstract The comic book industry has significant challenges with intellectual property rights. Comic books have rarely been treated as a serious art form or cultural phenomenon. It used to be that creating a comic book would be considered shameful or something done only as side work. Beginning in the 1990s, some comic creators were able to leverage enough cultural capital to influence more media. In the post-9/11 world, generic elements of superheroes began to resonate with audiences; superheroes fight against injustices and are able to confront the evils in today’s America. This has created a billion dollar, Oscar-award-winning industry of superhero movies, as well as allowed created comic book careers for artists and writers.
