A few details of Ike Perlmutter's moves within the Disney hierarchy leak out in thisprofile in the LA Times, by brave writer Dawn C. Chmielewski who gets, naturally, zero cooperation from Disney, Marvel, or Perlmutter. Ike is of course Marvel's legendarily cheap—and successful—CEO, who has begun to make his influence felt inside the Magic Kingdom, as shown by the rumors of some epic battles that Chmielewski's uncovered:

Blood, rubble, fear, fire foe...you know the drill.

As previously reported, for its 100th issue, Robert Kirkman's superhero saga INVINCIBLE is following in the "issue 100 = a heartbreaking death" comics tradition, by teasing said heartbreaking death.
