It just doesn't feel like the right fit. It's like merging Soldier of Fortune and Good Housekeeping magazines. Very bizarre, but a cash cow for them in the long run. Less original ideas to create - check.

This makes it seem somewhat less ominous . . .

I'm all for it, frankly. I can't see them doing much to change it since Marvel has been it's own solid business for a long time, especially with the movie end.

Now they can silence Howard the Duck forever. Uncle Scrooge does a hostile takeover of Stark Industries. Reed Richards will discover Flubber....

Yes, someone cut down that URL into something that can fit in a normal sized screen.

And on topic, at some point all entertainment will be pumped out by Warner Brothers or Sony. And that day is damned close.

What do you mean solid? Financially?

Pixar + Marvel = GOOD. Here's hoping.

They are looking for a settlement, and will probably get one.

Steve Ditko as well Jack Kirby and his family deserve a cut of this. They were equal creators in the characters that made Marvel what it was today, was paid squat in work-for-hire deals and generally treated as an afterthought. Disney had better do the right thing and finally settle this decades old rights debacle. Stan Lee has enough money already I think, right?

I agree. They all contibuted alot to our modern culture, and they and they families should be compensated better.

Any one know if Stan Lee ever got a better cut?
