Carnival Comics owner and author Jazan Wild (aka Jason Barnes) is suing NBC Universal for $50 million, claiming that the plot of the fourth season of NBC’s Heroes wass ripped off from his graphic novel Carnival of Souls. According to THR Esq., Wild claims that:
…the network “knowingly, willfully, recklessly and maliciously infringed” on his copyright by introducing a traveling carnival “virtually identical” to the ones depicted in his successful three-installment digital book series.
The complaint, filed in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles, lists similarities including a carnival that can magically appear and disappear to collect protagonists, a young boy who develops special abilities, a carney or hero running through the woods chased by a mob, a circle of mirrors tied to the key plot, similarities in dialogue, and more.
Indeed, some of the scenes in ‘Heroes’ appear as if the books were used as storyboards by the defendants,...
