The Avengers teaser trailer that was shown at Comic Con has leaked onto the internet.  You may want to hurry and watch it before Marvel notices and starts cleaning it up.  If you happen to miss it though, you’re not missing much, it’s basically Samuel L. Jackson just talking with the Avengers logo on the screen.  Not nearly as awesome as that Thor footage from last week.

According to the New York Times, Disney has made a bid to purchase Marvel Comics for $4 billion.

Walt Disney Company said Monday it has agreed to buy Marvel Entertainment, the storied comic book company that owns the rights to such popular characters as Spider-Man and and the Fantastic Four, in a cash and stock deal it valued at $4 billion. The deal comes more than 10 years after Marvel was at the center of a bruising and highly public takeover battle between two feisty financiers.

Shareholders at Marvel will need to approve the transaction, which boards of directors at both companies have already approved.
