Disney buys Marvel Comics.

Yep, that is right, Disney is buying Marvel.

I'm sure it's just to get access to the characters, movies and games. But I hope they take some editorial control of the actual comics, and kick Joe Q to the curb.

I've not often been a big fan of the "Disneyfication" of other source material, but to be honest, I can't see how anything they could do would be worse than what has been done to the Marvel U for the last 4 or 5 years: Avengers Dissembled, The mutant eraser, Illuminati, Civil War, Skrull invasion, Spiderman: One more Day - the list of shame goes on.

It would be nice to read Marvel comics again. Not this twisted parody of what they once were.
