A little sarcasm never hurt anyone, and we're pretty sure Metacomedy's being sarcastic here in saying they didn't know Disney owned Marvel.

Other fans are thrilled with the idea, hoping Disney just licenses the characters and then releases the old books in trades.

I'm actually fine with Disney shutting Marvel Comics down. Just license the characters out and release the old comics as trades. ALL OF THEM! https://t.co/dBGhI7DHxQ

For others, this is just not news worth getting all worked up for.
Are people really freaking out this much over a rumor that Disney may be shutting down Marvel Comics? For a moment, I thought that Captain Marvel reviews had come out and been underwhelming, you know...actual news?

It didn't take long for some to declare Marvel Comics near death, and some fans can't help but laugh.

prevnextNon-Story
The fact that the end of Marvel Comics came from a panel announcement of two guys sitting together and talking comics is what threw others, seeing it as a non-story.
I like how the story is: Two guys from Marvel Comics are attending a panel which some speculate is to promote the value of comics because sales are bad but they lead to good films/games. Disney probably thinking about shutting them down based on those sales figures!
