Trivia / Jawbreakers: Lost Souls

• Troubled Production: This work was possibly the most fought about yet-to-be published comic book in the history of the medium. Jawbreakers: Lost Souls writer Richard Meyer is a youtuber specializing in comic book critique and comments about the comic book industry who constantly attacks comicbook writers for their left-wing progressive politics and agenda at Marvel which he believes are ruining their comics. In response to his criticism they challenged him to try to make his own comic book. Meyer then began to write and produce Jawbreakers: Lost Souls. Meyer then vowed to have the comic printed and mail delivered via crowdfunding. After securing a deal with Antarctic Press to print and distribute the comic book through traditional means, several outlets elected to not sell his comics, resulting in Meyer retaliating by publicly listing names and phone numbers of stores that joined the boycott, allegedly to inform his followers where not to look for his book. But then publisher Antarctic Press canceled the print edition, due in September 2018. Meyer was forced to found his own comic book publishing house. Instead of this (and the comic's subsequent phenomenal success through crowdfunding) being the end of it, Meyer afterwards sued comic book writer Mark Waid for tortious interference with Meyer's contract with Antarctic Press after considering that Waid unduly pressured the publisher to break its agreements with Meyer to publish the book.
