Marvel to the Rescue?

artstream

This could be interesting. And in light of all the THQ madness, I wonder if this would be a welcome acquisition. All speculation at this point of course.

*EDIT*

Never mind. I still cant understand where this is going.

if it means they don't only produce marvel based games then it's pretty interesting,
though doesn't it ultimately mean they'd be owned by Disney? I seem to remember them wanting to move away from the types of games THQ makes.

I could see this with Quesada running the creative side of things, he's a smart guy.

Oooooh, the Paradox!

I wonder if it'll mean franchises becoming Marvel-published comics as well.... or a Volition-developed Spiderman game.

I have a hard time seeing THQ giving up on the Saints Row franchise...its one of the few that they can actually sell. But remember, Volition did make a punisher game before the first Saints Row!


All I know....is that I desperately want to play that Avengers game.

Yes Disney owns Marvel, but when they bought it, Disney said it would keep the two entities separate.

So far so good, but you can google Mickey mouse / spiderman...:)
