Alas, poor MARVEL! I knew THEM, Horatio: a company
of infinite CROSS OVERS, of most excellent STORIES: they hath
borne me on their back a thousand times; and now, how
abhorred in my imagination it is! my gorge rims at
it.

THIS TRULY IS THE DAY THE MUSIC DIED!!!!!

What effect will this have on their current movie deals? Wouldn't a sudden change in licensing require them to rewrite the contracts?

anyways, i honestly think this is a good thing. having a financial backer like disney could mean more movies, more tv media etc, which if kept under the marvel banner, wouldn't be half bad.

as long as disney stick with their intention of not interfering in Marvel Studios way of doing things. we don't need them to end up like DC and WB...

Exactly, Cresh.

There's already a division called Marvel Kids. Why is everyone acting like they're somehow going to trash the comics?

Until they do, people need to stop worrying.

An emoticon of a hand covering the face due to embarrassment or complete disbelief of idiocy at hand. Sweet! Wish a couple of other boards I frequent had it too.

The previous contracts Marvel had with the other film studios were simply distribution and marketing in nature, so again, as what was pointed out on this page, Disney will honor those.

i keep meaning to buy a few of those... mmm

mini marvels FTW 😄

Ok, I am going to BUMP this post & say I TOLD YOU SO WHEN MARVEL FOR NO GOOD REASON ( OTHER THAN SOME CORPORATE CLAP TRAP) deep sixs Punisher Max & similar type books & we never hear or see from these characters again! Marvel will start scaling back their stories for a more family friendly audience. They will cite some wider target audience marketing BS. YOU WATCH! DISNEY does not have a good history in this dept.

You are NEVER going to get a book like Howard The Duck or a talent like Steve Gerber bringing their off the wall ideas to Marvel. It is going to be a more sanitized Marvel universe.

RIP MARVEL! Now I know who is REALLY behind the "Dark Reign!"

DAMN YOU DISNEY, DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL!!!!!!

Well it helps that Marvel isn't worth $4 Billion, Disney probably dropped in on Saturday and offered them the money.

This is horrible! It's like Stan Lee died and Walt came in to "save the day".

Oh for ****'s sake.

Can people seriously stop this bullshit? It's not that bad, nothing has happened and unless something does, stop acting like someone or something has died.

Christ.
