In his "Cup O' Joe" column at Comic Book Resources, Joe Quesada spoke about The Walt Disney Company's acquisition of Marvel Entertainment. Quesada answered questions in an interview conducted by Kiel Phegley.
Highlights - well, there was really only one as far as I'm concerned:
1. When did Joe first learn of an impending acquisition?
Joe Quesada: A small group of us on the creative side were approached by Ike about the idea of a merger almost a month ago. We were told that Bob Iger and the team at Disney wanted to meet with us. It was a small group which also included Dan Buckley and Kevin Feige. On the Marvel end of things, we were asked to go and see if we felt that this was a merger that would be beneficial to Marvel in all areas, especially creatively. Personally, I was more than floored and incredibly flattered to have been invited, and meeting the gang at Disney was a thrill. I was incredibly impressed with everyone we met, all of them amazingly sharp and all had as much a love of Disney as we had of Marvel.
Some of the rest of Quesada's answers are interesting, though they don't shed much light on much of anything.
