I flipped on the radio this morning, and today’s top story was “DISNEY BUYS MARVEL” which is a weird way to wake up.
The main, business-oriented story was then followed by a “man-on-the-street” reaction piece, where they went to their affiliate sports station and got their homophobic/gay-baiting douchebag “Video Games Journalist” to spout off some bullshit about how he’s worried because he doesn’t want “Spider-Man and Doctor Octopus to live happily ever after, or Spider-Man and Venom to walk down the street holding hands.” Because… that happens in Disney Movies? Not one single Disney movie or cartoon I’ve seen, but I guess when you’re a huge fucking douche, you don’t actually watch Disney productions? Anyway, fuck you, d-bag and your producer too for putting you up to it: You’re why I’m not linking the radio station.
Meanwhile, an investor-conference was held and Tom Spurgeon, The Comics Reporter was there. It seems like it’ll be business-as-usual for Marvel and Disney, with a little bit of corporate tightening-up. Considering DC operates the way it does withing the Warner empire, I can’t imagine much will change at Marvel with this deal.
Now, to work and The Previews catalogue.

Please share comments on the Previews catalog, honored sir. We’ve all been good!
“Considering DC operates the way it does withing the Warner empire, I can’t imagine much will change at Marvel with this deal.”
Yousure wouldn’t know that from fanboy reaction. 🙂
“OMG!!!! Now all Marvel Comics will have to be family friendly!”
Yeah. Because No Country For Old Men and There Will Be Blood just scream “family friendly”. People have all these preconceived notions about what Disney is known for-yet seem to lack any idea of what Disney actually puts out there.
