Hello,
I published a comic series in a few years back and recently a large video game company that's home base is near where i distributed my work came out with a character that had some very similar characteristics and story. I did not copyright the comic but it has had 2 issues published through a small company and is on Kindle and Comixology. I am looking to publish the third but figured i should figure this out first.
I am worried that if i ever actually got popular i might get a cease and desist. Also would i ever be able to take my character into video games or television? I figure i need to do something cause i know when i show at cons now people will think i ripped that company off.
Thanks, sorry for being vague, I don't want to make a fuss unless i have to and i have a leg to stand on.
