    Does anyone think Disney is the best thing that happened to Marvel?

    More money to pump into the company, movies and all. Now if they can go and get the rights back for FF and the Xmen they could reboot.

    Disney has had nothing to do with Marvel's wins or loses anyone who thinks otherwise is an idiot....the only thing that happened with the sale is that Marvel has more resources to call upon now

    Haven't seen anything wrong with Disney picking up Marvel as of yet.

    I'm completely indifferent to it. Disney owns like a 6th of the country.

    No thank you, I hate the censoring, and even the marvel video games are trash, marvel lego? No thankyou! DC has A+ games (batman arkham asylum etc) and we're stuck with kiddy generic trash.

    you say "etc" but there is no "etc" it's the Arkham games and DCUO that's it...DC has no other games besides their Lego games

    Marvel has their Ultimate Alliance games which tons of people love....they also have Spider-man Shattered Dimensions and Edge of Time which again tons of people love...and soon they'll have their very own MMORPG and their own series of Lego games

    I'd say that when it comes to games the two are on pretty equal grounds

    @danhimself: Marvel ultimate alliance was good, and number two was awful and it even had phoenix in (my favorite character) but I still thought it was terrible, it also received very negative reviews, and Spiderman is good for 'spiderman fans' not a Marvel as a whole. Also Spiderman barely evolves with each instalment DC has much stronger titles, and yes I am much more a Marvel fan. As for the MMO games, Marvel is PC only alienating many people on consoles, and I hope it succeeds but its doubtful judging by the feedback it's getting for the limited customisation.

    Hulk no care one way or other. As long as Hulk still get to smash stuff and beat people up (and get free admissions to DisneyLand in both Florida AND California) Hulk OK with it.

    On the movie side it is a boon, having Disney's marketing muscle to push the films is huge

    On the comics side, Joe Q and Axel A are still butchering the Marvel U uninterrupted.

    At least we can now finally have the long awaited Howard the Duck/Donald Duck crossover event that will "dramatically change the Marvel Universe for years to come".....

    Dont ever say that. Never.

    Too true. And we lost Spectacular Spider-man for Ultimate Spider-man.
