I thought Disney just said they were going to focus more on releasing Disney games on the Wii and Marvel games on the PS360.... |
So disney really bought MARVEL? 
|
yeah. That was months ago I think. I'm still worried what that really says about the future of Marvel but so far I haven't seen anything major happen.
|
There are a lot worse reasons to worry about Marvel then Disney buying them. They've been catering to the same dwindling audience for a while now, haven't expanded and seem to think the only way to keep people reading is to have major event after major event with no time to breathe in between.

I thought their Digital Comics were doing well but I could be wrong. Those newsletters that I get generally always seem peppy since they're probably trying to get people interested in stuff, despite it probably not working nearly as well as they probably hope.
|
They're doing fairly well... the main problem is, they're mostly targeted towards the same markets though.
In reality Disney and it's ability to reach across age groups is just the kind of thing Marvel really needs right now.

From what i've heard, the big two comics publishers have never really recovered from that industry's crash back around 1992/3 or so.
I say the big two, because Image, Top Cow, and especially Dark Horse seem to have built themselves in that post-crash period, so the whole industry can't be toxic, but DC and Marvel just haven't been the same. |
More or less, but the big two still hold a vast majority of the buisness. They're carving out a bigger niche but the pie is shrinking.
