Well Warner Bros acquired DC waaay back in 1969, yet the early 70s saw the release of Jack Kirby's Fourth World series which, while often imitated, have never been equalled.
I doubt that Disney cares much about the comics per se; they are already appealing to about as large a market as they can (everyone who's into comics is into comics already). It's the movies that Disney wants, given the huge success of Spider-Man, Iron Man, and others.

Wow. Well you guys better buy that memorabilia and other products now. Once its in Disney's control they will hold on to it tighter than a dolphins asshole. It will be put away in there vault until they are ready to sell it. At a premium price of course. Convenient how that works out for them... cause it could have gone either way
I have the personality and people skills of a retarded home-schooled kid.

For the record this is how shitty Disney is. Now Buena Vista (owned by Disney) actually owns the rights to the X-Men and Spiderman cartoons from the 90's. They just released bare bones episode of X-Men from the 90's. No retransfer or anything just a lazy ass job to one of the best cartoons of the 90's.

Somewhere the cryogenically frozen head of Walt Disney is cracking a smile.

They wont fuck with Marvel after they buy it. I'm sure it will be run as a separate entity. Its worth to much to go and start changing things since I'm sure they know how much fan boys spend and that they are very picky with how they like their comics and movies. Its not like this is the first thing Disney has purchased, Miramax and Espn run with little interference as do a lot of the other companies they own. I do think this sounds like a terrible movie plot.

Very smart move by Disney. They have now addressed an area that Disney has been always weak in--young boys. Disney has a shelf life that usually expires in young boys around Power Ranger age 8+. Now they got instant sex appeal in that particular demographic.
I've always admired Disney's animation division. Even if I didn't care for the subject matter, their toons have always been beautiful with top shelf voice acting. Now imagine Pixar jumping on Spidey, the FF, Avengers or gawd help us Howard the Duck. Imagine a regular Ghost Rider series with Disney budget--It's gonna be noice!
I think Disney will be hands off the comics, because they really went after was the Marvel universe IP's to expand into that sweet sweet Iron/Spidey movie franchise.
Also, DC is owned by Warner Bros and Disney will never acquire them. Though I hear Superman "might" be iffy for them. Wouldn't it be a dick move for Disney to buy Superman. Total dick move.
