Ownership of Time UK's comic characters?

[John Pannozzi]

Okay, I wanted to post this in the thread concerning Rebellion's recent buyout of Fleetway's comic properties, but I couldn't reply to that thread, so I'm making this one.

Anyway, I want to talk about the comic book properties and characters that Time UK still has the rights to. 

This article from a while back makes its sounds like Time UK shares rights to its comic properties with DC Comics.

But what I haven't seen anyone here acknowledge is that two years ago, Time Warner (which still owns DC Comics) spun off Time Inc. (which presume includes Time UK) into its own separate company.

So I'm wondering how those rights were split.
