Disney buys Marvel Comics

[thewayne]

$4B is a pretty big voice. Probably worth it, and probably entirely for Disney to get its hands on Marvel's movie operations. Let's just hope they stay out of Marvel's comic publication side.

Not that I tremendously care, I haven't read a Marvel in probably over a decade.

There's a pretty good analysis here:

I do read Marvel currently and agree with the blogger that a Disney drive-out of Marvel's current editor-in-chief would be for the good.

Sadly, from the quality of a lot of Disney's recent stuff, I'm afraid to see what'll happen to the movies.

The comics, too, though I also haven't read them in a long, long time.
