Disney bought Marvel-- DT series safe?

Miss Mod
I know it's pretty early in the game since the news just hit yestreday, (and that there already were (if memory serves) 5 story arcs in place) but this "Disney buys Marvel Comics" news shouldn't affect any future installments of that series, should it?

I mean they are well aware of any better selling comics in the pipeline, and I should think anything with King's name attached is selling better than some of the less popular superhero pulp. Since money is the bottom line in all businesses, I would think (hope) that the Dark Tower series (and all possible future new story arcs), being as successful as it is, will remain able to continue.

I for one am glad since, in theory, the price of comics SHOULD finally come down a notch or two now that Marvel has the multiple resources of Disney backing them up. This is good for everyone involved since maybe more people will return to comics and the bottom line will grow.

Heck, maybe more comicbook stores will open up now. (Or, just as good--- maybe WalMart will start make room in all their stores for a few feet of comicbook space? On a limited and smartly marketed scale of course--after all, can't have a dozen geekers hanging around blocking the aisles reading Spider-Man right?)

Be interesting to see what everyone else thinks about this
Oh-Miss Mod---if someone else started a thread and it was after hours, you can feel free to drop this into THAT thread if you wish thanks

Disney bought Marvel Comics for 4 billion dollars..Amazing

I don't think Disney's acquisition of Marvel will change too much, especially not the titles that sell nicely. We might see some cool Marvel - Pixar movies though, which could be a cool thing. 3-d Spiderman would be epic, no?

I think the Dark Tower and such would be safe.

Oh and I base this on absolutely nothing, btw.

(it's funny King will have work being published by Disney, though, this humors me to no end for some reason)

As far as I know, Steve's contract for the DT comics isn't affected but I can't confirm or deny with 100% certainty until I get more information.

Confirmed changes to DT series post-Disney buyout:

Susannah Dean will now be played by Miley Cyrus
Eddie Dean will now be played by one of the Jonas brothers (who really cares which one?)
Jake Chambers will be replaced by a CGI robot boy
Oy will be played by Pluto
Father Callahan will be played by Scrooge McDuck

Randall Flagg will be played by Goofy
Crimson King will be played by Mickey Mouse

On the plus side, the new Blaine the Mono ride at Disneyworld should be a real killer.

I can just imagine:

Dark Tower VIII - Revenge of Hannah Montana!

The main difference is that, from this point forward, all of the characters will have four fingers.

Dark Tower: The Musical, On Ice

A comic seeing bambi stroll down into a stream by a water-duct with a clown 5$
A cartoon seeing Minnie picked up hitchhiking by Ace Merrill -- $8
An animated film showing cujo vs Goofy - $9

Seeing Roland quick drawing and blowing a lil Mouses head off--- priceless!!!

OMG, the visual I'm getting on this is just too much. Thanks for the best laugh I've had in days.
