Motley Fool on Marvel/King Deal

Motley Fool seems required by law to write a feature every time Marvel issues a press release, so it was pretty obvious the recent "Stephen King to Marvel" news wasn't going to escape notice. The writer here seems delighted by the announcement, despite the fact he applies the more accurate description of what King is doing: providing treatments as opposed to actually writing the comics, which may or may not turn into a huge difference maker when it comes to overall impact. The article does note that this could possibly clear a path for any number of interesting deals in the future, a notion with which I agree. The thing it sort of reminds me of is Broadway making a space for Disney properties as musical theatre, where comics could possibly become a more active profit hub by keeping a name out there and providing variations for licensing.
