Marvel Deal

I spent yesterday afternoon putting up 100 postcards of classic Marvel comic front covers in the boarding house that I have taken over. I was interested to read today on the BBC website that Disney is set to buy Marvel in a deal worth $4bn. The deal will mean that Disney will take ownership of 5,000 Marvel characters. This deal may prove slightly risky for Disney as its profits are down more than a quarter due to a fall in film and theme park revenues as customers tighten their belts.

There is a BBC news clip to accompany the original article.

Article from The Telegraph.
