I agree that Bissette's heart is in the right place, but a boycott would have to extend to DC Comics and reprints of so many other companies.
Isn't Steve Bissette the guy who made his reputation working on Len Wein and Berni Wrightson's Swamp Thing?? Give me a break.
Difference is Wein (and I'm guessing Wrightson) get royalties for Swamp Thing and all their other creations (which also were likely WFH). 
As I said, the difference between the two companies; DC and Marvel, is I see money off of all of my characters at DC in any incarnation. If they do paperback books, if they do movies… I also created Lucius Fox, the character Morgan Freeman plays in the current run of Batman films, and I do absurdly well off of him being in those films, financially. Because Paul Levitz made sure I signed creator equity contracts whenever I create a character. Even on something potentially so unimportant…as I said to Paul when I argued with him about signing a Lucius contract, "It's a middle-aged guy in a suit." He said, "Sign a contract. You never know." He was right.
I agree that while his boycott's a nice gesture in principle, I doubt it'll amount to much.  After all, it's not like Marvel hasn't been screwing Kirby (and other creators) for years and that hasn't stopped people from still buying the comics.
