Sometimes a picture is worth… well, it’s own post. For instance, the shots captured below (done by geek photographer Derek Deweese) at Dragon*Con 2009 that depicts one very angry mutant. Of course this could have been inspired by the Penny Arcade web comic that shows how Marvel Comics’ new parent company Disney is dealing with an excess of characters.
I have to be honest though, I expected far more Marvel/Disney mashups from this group of creative costumers. News of the Disney-Marvel acquisition is still very fresh in the minds of fanboys, but as you can see from the disgruntled Hank McCoy pictures, a little effort goes along way.

A corporation is a corporation. Welcome to reality.

Interesting that the only mutants who seem to care about the Disney deal are the ones that are ‘happily’ contracted to hundreds of FOX Origins movies.

Just because I know this will get asked… I randomly ran into the guy dressed as Beast in this picture after we published the post. He said the intent was suppose to be jokingly.
We didn’t talk about what he thought of the Marvel/Disney deal.

I’m actually the guy who dressed as Beast. To answer your query, I was shocked & outraged just like everybody else when the news broke. After letting the news sink in, I’m taking a wait-and-see approach.
If Disney is smart, they will leave the creative process alone. Plus, we could get a Disney/Pixar movie which would be awesome.
