Fun with Disney / Marvel

This past Monday, Disney announced the intended acquisition of Marvel Entertainment. As a Marvel comic-book fan in my boyhood (how well I remember scrambling to the comic-book rack at the local convenience store), I have some mixed feelings about this. Disney has done this before with Winnie the Pooh and the Muppets. I enjoy Disney, and I enjoy Marvel. However, I'm not sure I want to see the Hulk stomping through Tomorrowland. We shall see.

However, this is kind of fun. A group of digital artists set up a photoshop contest inviting participants to create new Disney/Marvel "hybrids." My favorite entry:


Check out the link above and see all 52 entries. The one I wish somebody would make: Goofy/Thor. Or Selena Gomez/Phoenix. Why not? But, please spare me any hybrids involving Hannah Montana! (h/t: PhatDisneyGeek)
