First time I met Alan more was in Orbital Comics on Charring Cross road he did a promo for Lost Girls, I was allowed a cup of tea and brief chat with him. He is a lovely guy, very droll and very, very intelligent. To clarify, I was one of many he chatted to that day. Although I have met him a few times since.
I imagine guys like that are generally dicks to their peers more than they are to fans. I mean, you mentioned Alan Moore, and he's probably the most well-known ******* in comicdom.
I mean, imagine working at Marvel or DC, and someone like Grant Morrison or Marv Wolfman comes to you and says "I have some ideas about your book". On the one hand you'd be flattered. On the other, you could ****ing hate their idea, and if you don't use it, they could take offence, which could be the start of a bad relationship.

What's your problem with Shooter again?Most people on this planet are dicks.
Dude gave us Secret Wars. Marvel tried to remake that story a hundred of times and they never came close to Shooter's level.

Like I said, I can't argue with his results, but if you google "Jim Shooter is an *******" you'll get a fair few results.
I'd paste them here for you if I wasn't just about to head out, but if you want, I can paste some later when I get home.
And, like I said, he's not the only one. Comics history is filled with at the greats seeming to hate at least one of the other greats.

I just Googled it and acording to several sources their exact net worth isnt known but both are estimated to be near 4 billion.
The only differentiations I can see is 130b for Disney and 200b for AT&T. Unless your trying to compare WB srudios with MRvel as a whole. But that doesnt work since WB stusios is worth 5.12b and it would only compare to Marvel Studios which isnt as much (given disney payed 4b for Marvel including comics and the Studio (rhough they are both woth that alone now). AT&T paid 85b two years ago for time warner which at the time was kore than Disney's net worth. Which has gone up adter spending 71b buying fox

That article is quite old though. Since 2014, we've had several Avengers films which broke the billion mark, Joker etc.
Yeah but has either company done anything to increase their value more overall?.
Marvel might have more high dollar movies but WB has more high dollar TV shows TV shows. Merchandise from both would be around the same. Warner owns HBO (which got 2.2 billion from GOT alone, HBO now alone made them 5.89b in 2016, 3.2b in 2018). Disney plus will likely give Disney a hit soon but not before suffering a drop by pulling back all content and the revenue those licences generated, set up costs of the service and marketing campaigns as it gets released. But then HBO Max is going to follow. Disney's purchase of Fox has increased its assets but also likely cut into its liquidity
