(Who will be the first to draw Spider-Man or Wolverine with mouse ears? And Steve Gerber must be spinning in his grave now that Donald and Howard are corporate cousins…)

Not about the mouse anymore…now they’ve gotta milk those Hannah Montana tie-ins.

Without reading the thread. DC fanboys who don’t actually read Marvel books out of a childish bias towards DC and/or the 90′s leftover “Marvel Sucks” elitist attitudes, trashing Marvel Comics….that they don’t read.

Am I right?

I remember when Disney bought ABC.

All of a sudden, the only times Disney was mentioned on ABC News, it was favorable.

And oddly enough, nearly every ABC family-oriented show went to Disneyland on vacation…

If they leave Marvel’s creative alone and just harness the Disney marketing power it could be great. Time will tell.

Tell that to Bob & Harvey Weinstein, founders of Miramax.

I was not a DC fan, but I’d much rather have seen Warners take over Marvel than Disentery. The “Amalgam Comics” crossover from the mid-90s was a glimpse of the mayhem that could have resulted from the blending of the two universes.

Sadly, no. Say goodbye to the MAX Comics Punisher, fanboys.

I own about 3000 silver age Marvel Comics, and I’m afraid to say this doesn’t move me at all. Marvel has been a shadow of it’s former self for a long, long time now, and Disney can’t do more to screw it up than has already been done. Might even be an improvement, in fact. Stan Lee had the most gigantic legacy of any man in the business, and systematically shredded it.

“I’m a DC guy and the soulless corporate overlords haven’t messed with it badly.”

Tell that to Bruce Tim when he was doing Justice League.

Mr. Willis, tell that to Dwayne McDuffie and Milestone. I was quite looking forward to reading Xombi again.

If this means Super-Goof will be in the Avengers movie – then I’m all for it.

I don’t think Disney will do anything to screw up Marvel any more than Marvel does to itself. This strikes me mostly as a merchandising deal, quite frankly. Outside of Ultimate Spider-Man, I don’t read any Marvel regularly. I’m a DC guy and the soulless corporate overlords haven’t messed with it badly.

Leroy, no, you’re right that! However, I was referring to Marvel’s escalating price of comics, NOT the contents of the comics. Have you seen how much a Disney comic cost? I bet you haven’t.

I dunno, I just have a bad feeling about this. Yeah, Disney has a lot of properties in which their influence is not obvious, and Warner already owns DC and has for years, but still . . . something just doesn’t sit right.

Now, on the other hand, if this means Pixar gets to make movies using the Marvel characters, then HELL YEAH!

Whatever Leroy,
While I have been currently been restructured at the genetic level into a Green Lantern Zealot over the past 12 months; I declare that Marvel has, currently, and in the future the instant before entropy consumes the universe, Pwn3rz your life, mine and even Olivers!

Oh please, have you people read a Marvel comic lately? Civil War? One More Day? Marvel did a good enough job of shooting itself in the foot already. Face it, the Marvel of your childhood is dead and gone. Get over it.

Do you people even understand how this stuff works? Disney owns ESPN but you don’t see Mickey there, right? Or on Lifetime? Or on ABC? Or any any other thing they own?

The Flash rocks in abundance. Was The Flash a Marvel hero? He was not. Ergo, Marvel does NOT rock.
