and ya, I think disney would be foolish to make any substantial changes.

I assumed that $4 billion was more than Marvel could possibly be worth.
For example, in Japan where far more comics are sold than in the US the entire yearly market is less than $5 billion. The US market is smaller (and shrinking) with Marvel having only a part of the total market.

Actually I just looked it up. Marvel profits about $63 million a year (that much coming on the heels of Iron Man) and had an estimated total worth of $2 billion.

Bardock42 is a whimpering pussy now who lost his flare to debate vigorously and just spouts senseless and thinly veiled puns here and there. You nazi pr*ck. Get your balls back from whoever you sold them to, you fat f*ck. What happened to the manly, chubby German big mouth we once knew, who'd flatten ignorance with a solid argument? Now it's like Andy Dick meets John Candy. You hybrid beefcake. Suck my c*ck
when i first heard about this i almost lost my shit but then i remembered that marvel hasnt really produced anything of quality over the past decade, so...,why not.

Just by having the Disney name above Marvel, on the comics, figures, posters etc. is going to look bad for a franchise I believed was getting more serious with its artwork and stories.
AC, you say they won't interfere and that you say there is proof of that but what the point in owning a company like Marvel and not being able to make decisions? Disney, unfortunately, has a main reputation for directly making things aimed at children, Marvel has been trying to break away from that in its main oulet- the comics.
Pixar, I believe, has made several movies since Disney completely took over that I think Pixar would not have made if they did't have to. The fun went out of it for me and they are churning out faceless garbarge now to appeal to any kid high on sugar.
There is always going to be jokes about this because it is so unreal; take the game Kingdom Hearts, a merger of two entirely different universes and its still open to ridicule when you have the likes of Sephiroth with Donald Duck and Goofy. What next? Disney buy the rights to Preacher and that lovable goofball Herr Starr.
Disney won't interfere in comics for so many reasons. The reason I believe that is because they said so, clearly, and I'm not so ignorant as to ignore that.
Since they took over Miramax they haven't interfered, same with Wall-E.
OMG! Don't joke about that...it would really put me on suicide note. Disney and Marvel will either live happily ever after....or just file for divorce after not having good sex.
