First off let me say I think that the Marvel-Disney thing is great!!!

Everything I have heard (I even listened to the Conference Call yesterday) indicates that the deal will leave Marvel alone to continue running as they are, much the way that Pixar is left alone. So all of you fearing that Disney is going to step in and de-claw Wolvie or what ever really need to chill and think about all the positive things that could come from this.

First with Marvel now backed by the Disney name/money/power it will put Marvel (and hopefully comics in general) into a much bigger, public Spotlight. If anyone has even remotely looked they can see that Comic readership is at it's lowest in a long time, if not ever, so something needs to happen to help boost this back up, and this could do it.

Hopefully it offers is a chance for Marvels great "All Ages" books to get out there to kids, who are the ones we need to get interested in comics so as they grow so does their comic reading. That is how I started out, reading the more "kid" comics and as I got older I found stuff like Judge Dread, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (the originals) etc... Right now there are some great comics out there aimed at the older audience (from teens up to adults) and there are some great kid friendly comics too, the only problem is that there is no easy access for those kids to get interested in them like there used to be.

Eventually we may even see comics back in convenience and grocery stores, which would ROCK!!!

Ok enough Marvel/Disney Pro-ranting On to other things.

Dallas Comic-Con was a blast (sorry I am so late on posting about it). I had a great time hanging out with old friends and new friends alike. I stayed with and it was a good time. It was great to meet David and Chris and get to hang out with Gary more than we have gotten to in the past.

As far as the Con it was great. This was the most packed I have seen it since I have started attending it. There were some really top names there like and who are always great to see and talk with. Watching what Mitch does makes me sick, but only because I can't do it o_O. I also picked up the Awesome calender that & did.

I was sitting next to my usual Partners in Crime and much fun was had (and made of) by all.

Ok back to work.




p.s. some of the Marvel-Disney mash-up pics are pretty funny though
