He’s a well-regarded local expert, so I wanted to share his take. I will try to present some more local perspectives on this deal as it develops. Thanks for the comment!

Given Disney’s track record, I’d say it’s not so wonderful.

Hopefully I’m wrong, but I doubt if we’ll see the continued existence of the MAX imprint.

Matt, you say that Marvel has had more creative freedom than DC. I would dispute that especially if you factor in the Vertigo imprint, which is largely regarded as the best major creative imprint in the industry.

The more experimental characters and titles will probably not be as prominent now as more of the A and B listers like Spidey, Cap, FF, Avengers, Thor, Hulk, and oh yeah, X-Men.

I would love to see Disney / Marvel get titles back in strength on the newsstands again but let us adult fans have the content we’re used to too.
