If this puts some of your minds at ease,
I have worked on many licenses properties before and I know a lot about copyrighted materials.
For instance, right now, my wife and I are doing a LICENSED adaptation of the novel
"The Last Unicorn" for IDW Publishing. It is directly licensed from the author Peter S. Beagle. You can read about that here:

We're also working with
Jennifer Love Hewitt on "Music Box" again for IDW. Read about that here:

IDW Publishing is one of the leading licensed property publishers out there and we're working with them on tons of stuff.
I recently worked on GI JOE, Transformers, DC Comics (title tba), Marvel Comics (title tba).
I've personally negotiated a licensing agreement with a few authors, including Brian Lumley and companies like King Features Syndicate.
I know you're seeing this as a fan attempt to do something and copyright issues are confusing, but please trust me, we know what we're doing.
