Wow.
You know, I'm not one of those comic geeks who lives and dies at the feet of Marvel and its storied history, but even I know what a really big deal -- and extraordinarily bad idea -- this is.
NPR: Disney To Buy Marvel for $4 Billion/8.31.09
How long before Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers turn up as comic characters, helping the X-Men fight the forces of evil and premarital sex? Remember what Disney did to Miramax back in the 90s? Well this will be worse.
It's like Oprah buying Epitaph Records.

(By the way, pay careful attention throughout the day to my friend Steve Bunche's blog, The Vault of Buncheness. Bunche is a former editor at Marvel and a samurai of all things comic-related. Can't wait to hear his take on this.)
