filkertomHoly crap.
Okay, very first thing: Maybe the comics will improve. Seriously. A lot of the dark, insane shit Marvel has done over the past ten years drove me out of buying comics completely. Disney won't like a lot of that stuff, though.
Second thing: Marvel has a shitload of licenses with Universal Studios down the street. Like, many of the major rides at Universal's Islands of Adventure. What's gonna happen to them?
Third thing: Status of the movie studio? Animation studio? Existing merch licenses?
Fourth, fifth, sixth, etc. Wow. I foresee a new theme park in the offing. Perhaps a Marvel-themed reboot of the former Pleasure Island.
Thoughts?
ETA: I went to the store this morning, and they had some comics in the magazine section. The most recent Amazing Spider-Man, Incredible Hulk (as opposed to Hulk) #600.
Mother of God.
Disney really can't fuck these up any worse than these yahoos already have.
