For investors the move was great! It sent Marvel stock soaring and several shareholders made money on the deal. Not that Marvel Entertainment needed it as their stock had continued to climb throughout the recession. The growing interest in Marvel characters has been due to some successful movies and with Marvel creating their own studio it was just a matter of time before a bigger fish came along. It reminds me of Qui Gon Jinn's words in Episode I, "There's always a bigger fish!" Disney certainly is that. As to my own personal opinion over the Marvel purchase I am undecided. As a business man and investment professional I am in agreement with it. As a comic book fan and store owner I am not sure. I think I will have to wait to see what directions the company goes in order to formulate an opinion. What do you think?
