In case you hadn’t heard the news that pierced the geekosphere, Disney is in the process of acquiring Marvel Entertainment for something like $4 billion. Details are only beginning to come out regarding the specifics of the deal — What will this mean for characters like Spider-Man (which calls Sony his movie home) and Iron Man (set up at Paramount)? Will this affect the comic licenses that Disney has granted to Boom! Studios for Pixar’s Cars and The Incredibles, as well as The Muppets? — so it’s a little early to start making judgments on the wisdom of said deal. But I hope it changes Marvel Comics in one simple way: Diversification.
