Oh, wow. This will resonate with most of my f-list -- some...more than others:
After seventy years, Jerome Siegel’s heirs regain what he granted so long ago – the copyright in the Superman material that was published in Action Comics Vol. 1. What remains is an apportionment of profits, guided in some measure by the rulings contained in this Order, and a trial on whether to include the profits generated by DC Comics’ corporate sibling’s exploitation of the Superman copyright.
This is just the beginning -- there's plenty more to be litigated -- but it's a hell of a start. And that it does emerge the same week of Grant Morrison's simply breathtaking All Star Superman #10 (which you can see bits of here), it's just...fantastic.

Neil Gaiman does his take on this at his webpage. It is interesting. For one thing, it does open up Marvel's take on Superman if they so wanted.
It is pretty amazing. As far as All-Star Superman #10. I have just about given up on picking up any DC comics, but that is a title I pick it up. There was a lot of good stuff in Issue 10.
