Dead Skunk Or Old Comic Books? Your choice!
In honor of last week’s big, big news (Disney bought Marvel Comics) I’m running a couple of comic book-themed Last Kisses this week.
This is a strange turn of events for most die-hard comic fans. I know some people are afraid that Disney will try to “Disneyfy” Marvel–making everything G-rated and warm and fuzzy. But that’s not going to happen. I’m sure Disney wants Marvel’s harder edge and older, male-dominated demographic.
But we’ll see. In the meantime, I’m not going to “Hulk out” over it–especially since I own a bit of Marvel stock and it shot up 25 percent in one day. Nope. I’m not going to complain at all.
