It now appears that Disney is in the process of buying Marvel Entertainment for 4 billion.

This is great. now marvel comics will all have happy endings and the villians will learn valuble lessons and change their ways at the end of each issue.

As Mr. Droid has stated, look for the Mickey Wolverine amalgam.

For somebody who is interested in self publishing this could be great news. For fan boys... well... you really should stop that.

It's still not a done deal. There are anti-trust entanglements to avoid, etc. But even if and when Disney makes the acquisition it may not change business policy at Marvel...

$4 billion for 5,000 characters. Not bad.

Pardon me, Mr. Contrary here once again ...
Do you mean happy endings and valuable lessons like in Miramax Films (another Disney owned company)such as Pulp Fiction, The Crow, Kill Bill and No Country for Old Men among countless others

For me, the verdict is still out on this one. Marvel has ALREADY been pretty badly managed as a business for nearly 3 decades and still managed to churn out good product on occasion and do reasonably well as a biz. I think it's a smart move by Disney considering how well superhero films seem to be doing. It is my hope that the possibility does exist that conditions could conceivably improve for writers, artists and consumers though by no means is it a given. Let's all say a prayer to the big mouse in the sky hoping this is an improvement.

Going to lock this one as well as we really only need one thread on the matter.

check this one out if you have comments. "I picked the other one because the thread title is clearer."
