I'm not sure I like this. I hope Disney doesn't disnefy the Marvel Characters. I hope Stan Lee makes a lot of money out of this, but I'm sure he won't.
The deal means Disney will take over ownership of 5,000 Marvel characters, such as Spider-Man and the X-Men.
Marvel shareholders will get $30 per share in cash plus 0.745 Disney shares for every Marvel share owned.
The boards of Disney and Marvel have both approved the deal, which now needs the backing of Marvel shareholders and competition authorities.
Marvel shares were ahead $9.76, or 25%, to $48.41 in midday trading while Disney shares fell 94 cents, or 3.5%, to $25.90.

Great....now we get to see Micky Mouse and spider-man team up against Captain Hook.....it's a sad day for comic book heroes.
I just wanna see Howard the Duck kick the crap outta Pete the cat on the Mickey Clubhouse lawn
It might not be a bad thing. Remember, DC comics (Superman, Batman) have been owned by Warner Brothers since the 70s.
Speaking of Howard the Duck, I wonder what will happen to him since Disney sued Marvel in the 70s claiming he was too similar to Donald...
My spidey-sense is telling me this means the end of the Spidey, Doc Oc, Kingpin, and J Jonah Jamieson that I thought I knew.
Who has ever survived a Disneyfication?
