Not Really Comics: Barron’s Magazine Lifts Leg on Marvel’s 2005 Film Slate

This wire report seems to indicate that someone at the financial magazine Barron's doubts that Marvel's 2005 films will distinguish themselves in a crowded fantasy film marketplace.

I don't link to a lot of these pieces, as I'm really torn over whether this kind of expectation/result stuff has any real effect on a company's status as a comic book maker other than determining exactly how much film and licensing money gets hoovered into the pockets of stockholder board members and how puffy anyone who can figure out way to say they're involved with whatever hit movie of the moment gets to be at comic book shows.

Still, "glass ceiling" talk has been all the rage in early 2005, and it's something to keep in the back of one's memory if there are publishing repurcussions down the line.
