Sometimes You Forget To Hit The Button: Pondering the Major Deals

It looks like I forgot to hit the button that would have rolled out a longish set of thoughts about the Marvel/Disney and DC: Restructuring stories. It's up now, and maybe some of you will want to read it. My general take is that these are industry shifts rather than news stories in terms of how things should develop from here on out. I'm not sure exactly how to cover it. I don't feel right supporting everything anyone with an in is telling me, and I'm pretty certain my time will not be well spent making predictions about comics' future like I'm a guest football analyst on Mike and Mike In The Morning. Mostly I think there's a rough shape to the story that indicates certain things may be in play and I share some of those areas of concern in the piece. In the end, I'm somewhat hopeful that there will be a practical reconsideration of traditional comics markets because these deals come at a point of relative strength for the comics entities and a second set of eyes on comics publishing could reveal some of the inbred peculiarities in its functioning for how they are. That may just be wishful thinking on my part, though.
