Political cartoon regarding the Big Buyout
After the cut, a political cartoon regarding the big "Disney buys Marvel" story.

For legality.

This panel is from AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #153. Mary Jane is angry over Peter ditching her at a party (hosted by J. Jonah Jameson) two issues back. With the whole "Mary Jane knew Peter's secret all along" reveal, this anger is really concern and worry over Peter constantly risking his life as Spider-Man. Does this make Mary Jane more complex?

	Oh, fer cryin' out loud, Time-Warner's owned DC for years, and no-one's ever complained about that. Does Miramax ring a bell? Kill Bill, Volumes 1&2? No Country for Old Men? Trainspotting? Pulp Fiction? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Warner Bros. has owned DC Comics since 1969, according to Wikipedia. Everyone confused/worried/concerned may not full understand that Disney has produced and distributed PG-13 and R movies through companies that aren't named Disney. I believe those companies include Touchstone, Miramax and Hollywood Pictures. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Technically, that was a company called "Kinney." They then bought Warner Brothers and took on the name. If you look at Warner films around that time, under the logo for a bit it says "a Kinney company." But Warner sounds more media-oriented so they adopted it. (Reply to this) (Parent)
