Stroking my beard a little bit, if I recall correctly, the reason there was such a long delay between the releases of Spiderman 1 & 2 was that Marvel was trying to dick Stan Lee out of his royalties. Apparently he was entitled to a share of the profits, but his contract had been written in such a way that gross revenues of ~0 million did not count as "profit."

Marvel only caved in and paid him when they realized they needed his permission to release a sequel, and the cost of paying him was less than the billion or so dollars they've probably made from all three movies.

So in other words, I'm betting they're doing everything they can to dick him over.

he was interviewed on NPR yesterday and the gist of it was that he had some stock in Marvel and in Disney but that of the 4billion price tag he was not a direct beneficiary. He is by no means the major stock holder.

Forget DC.

I started typing that as a joke but then it hit me that that's not that far fetched now and i died a little inside.

I'm counting on seeing a Darkwing Duck/Spider-Ham crossover.

MODUCK.

I would eat the Punisher alive.

Tetsuya Nomura is very very hard right now.

MvC3 was never going to happen anyway.

Now that's a great idea: Magneto, Cable and Akuma vs Mickey, Goofy and Donald

I'm not even that much of a comic geek, and I very much hope so. Recall what happened to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles when Archie Comics bought it.

When Jim Shooter spoke a our LCBS, the subject of the Disney merger came up.

Pro: The trains will run on time.

Con: Squelching creativity is what Disney excels at.

We shall see.

Vertigo is own by the Time-Warner conglomerate, which must mean that Vertigo sucks also.

Damn, how does it feel that your opinion has been so fundamentally destroyed by the same logic everyone else is using?

I'm just kidding, all comics suck.

So was I, Vertigo is pretty fucking awesome.

5 for Pastor.

Sorry I'm just pissy because The Preacher isn't on TV yet.

Agreed.

You win.

Goddammit Xeno, it's like you use some damn "Cantankerous Witty Remark Hack" when making a comment and then rake in the stars.

I'm reporting you to Chet for cheating!
