Any thoughts on this?

wtf

It might actually end up being for the better.

BWAHAHAHAHAhahahahahawhawahawhaw!!!!! 😂

I can see it now...

"What if? Goofy saved Silver Surfer from Galactus"

Meet the X-toons!

The Scarlett Cinderella! Oh, wait...

MAKE MINE MICKEY!!!!!

LMAO!!!!!

But Marvel has a big deal going with Paramount Pictures now. How would this work?
$4 billion - that's a lot more than the $50 million New World Pictures(now defunct) spent in 1987 to buy Marvel. Didn't end up doing marvel any good.

Wow

Awful. Disney has always had an agenda and stringent editorial control over their print and animated media. They hate personality in characters, hate funny drawings, and only approve of safe humor. Look for a lot of fired artists and writers and probably a cancellation of Daredevil and Captain America, not to mention a flood of X and Wolverine books (because that's what sells) if this goes through. Plus, I gotta be against this on the grounds that I generally am opposed to media consolidation.

Wait..wait..wait! I got one more...

"Who framed Wolverine!?"

"Snow White and seven pucks"

AWHOHOHOHOHO!!!! This is just awesome!

One more...

"Spiderman and the Pirates of the Caribean: One More Day"

😂 😂 😂

Disney now must fire Loeb, and gives more titles to Pak and Millar.

April Fools.........oh. 😐

Never buying a ****ing Marvel comic again 😐

If this happens, the Runaways will probably become huge with the young crowd.

WTF?

The X-Men will be de-aged and go back to high school where they will have problems related to product placement and will go to see Miley Cyrus concerts.

The main book they will advertise is an adventure series starring Howard the Duck, Tippy-Toe, and a resurrected Monkey Joe where they travel the world in search of treasure and adventure. Donald Duck, Scrooge MacDuck, and Huey, Dewey, and Louie will be added to the series and Howard's personality will be retooled to more closely match Mallard Fillmore.

probably for the best, maybe now marvel will be able to sustain more series

Hahaha!!! They just keep coming...

I can picture it now....Hannah Montana comic books with the Marvel logo...BWAHAHAHA!!!!

Or...The Jonas Brothers singing the Spiderman Theme:

"Spiderman, Spiderman,
(yeah-yeah-yeah)
Does whatever a spider can
(baby-baby-baby)
Spins a web, any size,
Ohh-ohhohhooh
Catches thieves just like flies
Look Out!
Here comes the Spiderman.
He wants to wear my friendship ring"

HAHAHAHA!!! Ouch my stomach!

You know something the sheer horror hasnt actually sunk in. Disney cant buy Marvel......you just cant. Its like selling your own children. I mean wtf are Disney going to do with Marvel characters?

Serioulsy if this gets out of hand I would drop Marvel for real.

Wait there not buying marvel characters but Marvel itself? What......the....@&*£

This is going to be ESPECIALLY rough on Punisher fans.
