Spider-Mouse?

Disney has purchased Marvel for $4 billion! At first, news on Monday morning that the Walt Disney Company would acquire Marvel Entertainment for $4 billion shocked the loyal readers of Marvel's comic books and had industry insiders speculating about what it could mean for the publisher. Long-time Marvel Editor-in-Chief Joe Quesada told fans on his Twitter account: ""Everybody take a deep breath, all your favorite comics remain unchanged," he wrote. One deep breath later – and after a lot of comparisons to Disney's merger with Pixar – and comic book readers are starting to see the positives that might come from the acquisition, despite the ongoing concern that publishing might be negatively affected.
