Marvel Entertainment Purchased by Disney

by Honk Mahfah on Aug.31, 2009, under Comics, Disney Parks, Movies, Universal Parks

According to Variety, the Walt Disney Co. has purchased Marvel Entertainment in a $4 billion deal.

Assuming that the deal is approved by Marvel shareholders, Disney will now own popular characters such as Spider-Man, the X-Men, Iron Man, the Hulk, Captain America, and the Fantastic Four, amongst many, many others.

It is not immediately clear how this move would affect the various film franchises Marvel has in the works (such as the Iron Man films and the upcoming Thor and Captain America movies) or the licenses to Marvel-based movies owned by other studios (such as Spider-Man and the X-Men).

It is also unclear how this would affect the theme park license Universal owns on the Marvel characters.

Fresh Out of the Oven: “The Dark Tower: The Fall of Gilead” #2 and “The Stand: American Nightmares” #3

The Dark Tower - The Fall of Gilead #2

Some good stuff in this issue, much of it involving the resolution of Roland being discovered as Gabrielle’s killer.  I like the fact that Peter David and Robin Furth didn’t decide to have Roland deny the deed; it would have sucked and been totally out of character for the gunslinger to lie about the incident just to cover his own ass.  Similarly, later on in the issue, when Roland is resigned to the idea of being hanged for his crime, his fatalism seems very much like what Stephen King’s young Roland would be like.  It’s this kind of thing that has helped make these comics such a pleasure for Dark Tower fans.
