True. Although a position one could describe as 'extreme eventualism' would state that the comics will eventually fall into the public domain and then be usable ...
The other posibilty is that the companies publishing comics will decide that it is in there interest to release some publicity material under the GFDL. This might speed up if people stoped useing fair use.
Given the nature of derivative works, that is very doubtful.
