My thrice monthly spiderman comics are something I enjoy very much and I take it very seriously when the possibility of disney interfering with them happens and that is what disney BUYING marvel is, in the mid 90s marvel was fucked up because of hyper marketing, specators market and the FREQUENT interference of people whose job was marketing with the comicsOriginally Posted by Cozener
and now theyre being bought by disneyI think I'm gonna be sick
if the worlds gonna end then let's get it over with, i got shit to do
I can't see Disney not coming in and Disney-fying everything about Marvel.
Ugh.
Good for the shareholders - but not good for Marvel fans, at least I don't think so.
Also, does this mean that future Marvel movies will be under the Disney banner and distribution?!?
I think Marvel already has a theme park - or their characters are liscensed to one.
Also... I hope they're covering Stan Lee in some of this. Disney will own all of Marvel's characters! That seems so wrong.
Damn... I so see Spider-man meet Shrek direct to DVD in the future.

Remember, Remember, The Fifth of November, The Gunpowder, Treason, and Plot.
I finally broke down and checked this out. I kept denying it, but the title kept popping up. 'orrible, just 'orrible.
In short, I agree with Pam's assessment.
It'll take a lot more than words and guns,
A whole lot more than riches and muscle.
The hands of the many must join as one.

Disney has management issues, they have for years.
I'm really surprised that with Marvel doing so well ( publishing and films and television ), that the shareholders are buying into this. Granted $50 for a $32 stock is a nice profit, but I suspect a lot of dumping once that goes through.
Disney is not the super-power it once was.

Del Rey is doing Talisman, not Marvel.

I shall refrain from judging it until I see it go bad with my own eyes.
Don't worry, it won't take long.

An article that might put things in perspective.
In short, it's quite possible Disney will simply allow Marvel to do their thing.
I really hope thats correct

Ya know, after reading that article, and calming down from the initial shock of the whole thing, I think I'll just go with the "wait and see" state of mind.

I don't know - a blog entry doesn't make me feel so great. If it were The Fool or WSJ, I'd feel better about it.
I just have a bad feeling about this.

THIS is in our future D: (made by a friend)
Take some time and see what happens here y'all.
If Disney does get this through, they'll own Marvel. I wonder what'll happen to Universal's rides since they have an entire theme park (that competes with Disney World I might add) centered around Marvel heroes. That will mean Disney would own stock in one of their biggest competitors (or Universal will have a shitload of painting to do this winter). We shall see what happens from here.
For my money, I think things will be fine for a little while (several years maybe) then Disney will poke their nose in Marvel's work and force them to be more family oriented. Say good-bye to my favorite The Punisher. Say good-bye to the Max line completely. Say good-bye to the comics fans that have bought for years and years and are no longer kids. Say good-bye to Marvel's profits. Say good-bye to the new Marsney (Disvel?) and close the doors on some very old but very well loved characters. Say hello to the next people to step in and fill the void... DC anyone? Maybe Dynamite?

In my local comic shop I have already seen comics such as Finding Nemo and Cars! I was wondering why there were these types of comics!Oh well maybe I can give these comics to my 4 year old son and he can start collecting!
Those releases were nothing to-do with Marvel though. Boom does Incredibles and a few others so they'll just be moved over to Marvel. I expect the Disney comic range will now be expanded.In my local comic shop I have already seen comics such as Finding Nemo and Cars! I was wondering why there were these types of comics!
Back when Marvel had a Disney license (1994 - 1996) there were series based on Lion King, Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast etc as well as books like The Disney Afternoon and Disney Comic Hits that featured loads of characters!. I've not read any of them honest.....
.......well ok so maybe I am a fan of the Little Mermaid
I really hope that Disney does not mess with any of the Stephen King comics! I don't want the Dark Tower Comics or The Stand Comics to be "politically correct" or "kid friendly"
I feel the end is near for anymore Stephen King comics!(At least from marvel)
ick. why couldn't they buy budweiser instead?
Because Budweiser was already bought a year ago by a Belgian company.
Dragline : Nothin'. A handful of nothin'. You stupid mullet head. He beat you with nothin'. Just like today when he kept comin' back at me - with nothin'.
Luke : Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.
Because Disney wanted to buy something good?

Starting with the final arc of the DT series, all of the characters will have only four fingers.
I don't expect this to cause any changes for Marvel. Disney will probably not meddle with a good thing.
I used to like Disney characters. Now i dont.
