So now that AT&T owns Warner Bros., that means they also own DC Comics.
Do you think DC Comics will turn into what Marvel has since Disney bought them out? Will we lose the traditional comic universe we've always loved for a more modernized universe, like Marvel has done?
I certainly hope not. Disney buying Marvel may have been great for the movies, but not for the comics. The comics have gone downhill for a while at Marvel (though I admit, that very recently, Marvel seems to be making a bit of a comeback).
What do you guys think about it?

Kinda interesting and funny what you say cause from a while ago I don't refer this companies by their real names, I now know them as the Walt Disney Company and the Warner Bros Company also it appears that am not the only one that thinks the same way, just take a look at some of those threads that 4chan has at their Win-O' Threads anyway Marvel comics is doing maybe not an awesome returning but they sure are doing a nice comeback, have been reading a couple of their latest releases even when I have access to all of their comics and without a doubt Amazing Spider-Man - Renew Your Vows and The Clone Conspiracy took my full attention ;)

***MARVEL SPOILERS AHEAD***
I'm really not liking Marvel. I swear they're intent on killing off all of their classic characters.
Wolverine, Jean Grey, and Professor Xavier have already been killed off. And Thor, hasn't actually been the God of Thunder for a while, now. Jane Foster is.
Now, in Civil War II, they've killed off Hulk and Iron Man. And at the same time, over in Inhumans vs. X-Men, they killed Cyclops. Also at the same time, the Venom Symbiote has attached to some character we've never even heard of before (this is after Flash Thompson, even).
I understand that they're trying to bring a younger audience, and add some diversity to the Marvel Universe. I have no problem with that. Marvel has always been more diverse than most comic companies. They've always had strong roles for women, black, and Asian characters. What I don't like, is doing it at the expense of their well-established characters. Why in the hell kill off your biggest money-makers and alienate you're already established fanbase?! Marvel used to be able to both create new characters, and keep their mainstream characters going.
I swear, they had better leave Peter Parker alone!

He is still alive and now we have Ben Reilly which by the way is my favorite Spider-Man back ;D
