Disney on talks to buy parts of FOX?

Oh my fuck, that is hilarious. How can you have a problem with that page?

You must hate Manga. Sometimes they will have wordless splash pages that do nothing but establish tone and introduce symbolism. Also, there are some iconic comic book pages in America that are completely without dialog.

That's why Manga comes in 300-page books, not 20-page leaflets like American comic books. As for Bendis's writing, it's fun, but only if you get the TPB or downoad 5 years at a time.

Comic books are a primarily visual medium. If you need to use thousands of words to tell your story, you probably shouldn't be doing it in a comic book. I have absolutely no problem with the Spider-Man page pictured above. It depicts the thoughts and emotions of the two characters without having to revert to thought balloons. I am more likely to be turned off by a comic if it is too wordy, or the artwork is not expressive enough, than by a lack of text.

If you compressed that page to one or two panels as you suggest, it would not have been nearly as funny.

By the way, I think the FOX-Disney talks fell through. Those properties are not going back to Disney anytime soon. I'll try to dig up an article link. Until then, regard my claim with suspicion

This guy argues (without a shred of actual evidence, mind you), that Disney will probably end up getting those properties back from FOX sooner or later.
