DISNEY BUYS MARVEL

The news is out. Marvel Comics has been purchased by Disney for $4 billion. You can read more at Publisher's Weekly, The Hollywood Reporter, and The New York Times. It is unclear how this will all play out although NYT has some interesting speculation about the integration of Marvel characters into Disney's theme parks and television station.

Most important to readers and comic lovers is the extent to which the quality of the stories in the Marvel Universe will be affected. The news is entirely too new to even speculate.
