Todd Macfarlane talks Angela and Gaiman.

Todd recently said to Newsarama

“Neil Gaiman and I had a resolution in our legal dispute, and as part of that he ended up with the rights of Angela,” the Spawn creator told Newsarama. “Whatever Neil chooses to do with something that he owns is at his complete and utter discretion.”“The health of the industry is based upon having good stories and good characters, and a wide customer base,”“If bringing some of these characters back to the fold in a meaningful way adds to that, then it just strengthens our industry.”“Good stories that entertain are something that we all should applaud on any level,”“Whether we’re doing it directly at Image Comics, or at our competition, it helps keep our industry that we love alive. I will sit back and be as interested as anyone else.”

Given the years and years of legal wrangling over Angela he sounds a lot less bitter than you would expect. Almost sounds a little rehearsed?
