THINGS ARE ONLY GOING TO GET BIGGER FOR THE COMIC INDUSTRY!


Disney To Buy Marvel Enterprises For $4B

Last update: 8/31/2009 9:33:19 AM
DOW JONES NEWSWIRES
Walt Disney Co. (DIS) agreed to acquire Marvel Entertainment Inc. (MVL), the creator of Spider-Man and thousands of other characters, for about $4 billion.
Under the agreement, Marvel shareholders will receive $30 a share in cash plus about 0.745 Disney share for each Marvel share.

Based on Friday's closing prices, the deal is valued at $50 per Marvel share, about a 29% premium.
The companies said the amount of cash and stock in the deal will be adjusted at closing so that the value of the Disney stock is at least 40% of the purchase price. Besides shareholder backing, the deal will require antitrust approval.
Disney Chief Executive Robert A. Iger said the deal combines Marvel's strong global brand - including some 5,000 characters such as Iron Man, Spider-Man, X-Men, Captain America, Fantastic Four and Thor - with Disney's "creative skills, unparalleled global portfolio of entertainment properties, and a business structure that maximizes the value of creative properties across multiple platforms and territories."

Marvel Chief Executive Ike Perlmutter called Disney "the perfect home for Marvel's fantastic library of characters given its proven ability to expand content creation and licensing businesses."

The comic book maker has been boosting cultural awareness of its characters by continuing to branch out into animated television series and live-action films. However, the company in the spring pushed back its film schedule through 2012 as it looked to build anticipation for its upcoming slate of films.

Marvel's results have been boosted from its film-production business, and last year was the first year it which it began to produce its own films, taking in all the profits instead of just licensing fees.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Sept. 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Zaldiva, Inc., A Florida Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: ZLDV - News), (Xetra/Frankfurt Exchange: UZ8) and a leader in Pop Culture collectibles, comic books, memorabilia and auctions headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, Florida today announced that it has formed a joint venture arrangement with InvestComics of West Palm Beach, Florida. The joint venture will consist of both companies utilizing the World Wide Web to increase their market share and brand awareness in the comic and collectibles industry.

The joint venture will focus on directing collectors to Zaldiva.com for their comic book investments. Zaldiva will be the prime comic book carrier for InvestComics. A collector will be directed to Zaldiva to build on their portfolio, or for any other comic book paraphernalia that they may need.

According to Jay Katz, CEO of InvestComics, "InvestComics started out as a comic book investment guide magazine 3 years ago and has since grown into an Investment guide to comic books on the Internet, averaging 240,000 hits per month."

"Jay has over 13 years of experience in the financial industry trading commodities. InvestComics takes the same approach to investing in comic books as one would in the commodity market," stated Nicole Leigh, CEO of Zaldiva, Inc.

InvestComics has the rights to exclusive Press Releases, which it receives on a daily basis. The press release exclusives are provided from the top comic companies in the industry, including Marvel, DC, Image and Dark Horse.

InvestComics is featured as a weekly article on the comic book web site 'The Outhouse' (www.theouthousers.com). 'The Outhouse' comic community is quite large, having triple the traffic of the InvestComics web site. InvestComics also has a featured banner on the Cold Blooded Chillers Site (www.coldbloodedchillers.com), from which it generates additional traffic.

InvestComics has a weekly 'Hot Picks' article that comes out before the new comic book arrivals on every Wednesday. The weekly 'Hot Picks' will be directed to Zaldiva, where the recommendations can be purchased directly online or through the retail store.

"The recommendations range from current comics to Golden age books. All recommendations will be available to purchase through Zaldiva.com," added Leigh.

InvestComics contributors span a variety of super-talents in the comic book industry and cinema. Bob Heske writes a bi-weekly column for InvestComics. The feature can be found under IndieCreator on the front page of InvestComics. Bob is the creator of The Night Projectionist, a vampire horror series by publisher 'Studio 407' with film rights optioned by Myriad Pictures. Through his Heske Horror shingle, Bob self-published his critically acclaimed horror series 'Cold Blooded Chillers'. Bob's trade paperback 'Bone Chiller' (a "best of" CBC anthology) recently won a Bronze medal in the horror category at the 2009 Independent Publisher Book Awards. Bob's works are available at Amazon, ComixPress, IndyPlanet, Haven Distribution, HeavyInk, SmallZone and DriveThruComics.

Pedram (Pedi) Shohadai was the driving force for creating InvestComics' new look. Pedi recently finished some visual effects for the Disney movie 'Return to Witch Mountain.' "His resume as an artist in the comic book industry is impressive," commented Katz. "From working on characters such as 'Spider-Man' to 'Spawn,' Pedi has worked extensively with Image Comics as well as Marvel. Pedi's web sites display his undeniable talent. www.methodinmotion.com and www.pedi-comics.com are just a couple of ways to see his great talent at work.

Jude Coelho is the Webmaster for InvestComics. Jude is also the Site Administrator/Webmaster of the mega comic book community known as The Outhouse (www.theouthousers.com). Jude is also the co-creator of a web-based character 'Bludblood.' The web comic has a huge following and can be found on the 'Outhouse' web site.

"InvestComics has grown tremendously in its first full year with our new web site," continued Katz. "We look forward to much success with Zaldiva and believe that this joint venture will prove to be a fun and profitable venture for both companies.".

The company is expanding its marketing initiatives via Facebook, Twitter, MySpace and YouTube.

I hear now that Disney bought Marvel there is no comic play on Wall St. anymore. Zaldiva tells me they want to build through acquisitions & be a major player in that field. Their mkt cap is so low that any positive news could make this stock roll. I own some so I'm positive on this one!

Zaldiva Details Rollup Strategy
Company sees industry ripe for consolidation and expansion into online auction sales

Press Release
Source: Zaldiva, Inc.
On 7:30 am EDT, Friday October 9, 2009
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Oct. 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Zaldiva, Inc., A Florida Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: ZLDV - News), (Xetra/Frankfurt Exchange: UZ8) and a leader in Pop Culture collectibles, comic books, memorabilia and auctions headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, Florida continues to actively pursue its objective of rolling-up smaller comic and collectibles retailers under its Zaldiva brand. The company has isolated its first 5 targets for acquisition.

"We see the comic and collectibles industry being in a very similar situation to the video rental business of days gone by," stated Nicole Leigh, CEO of Zaldiva, Inc. "Along came Blockbuster and the whole landscape changed. These smaller comic retailers, the 'mom and pop' stores, don't have the infrastructure to compete in the marketplace. We've built a solid foundation with our online Welcome To Zaldiva.com Comics & Collectibles store and have backed it up with a successful retail location that integrates eBay online auctions."

Leigh continued, "When we talk about 'rolling up' or 'acquiring' other retailers we are looking at comic book companies with large 'subscriber' bases, meaning recurring monthly revenues. Margins in this business are typically 50% plus, and with our backend and online infrastructure we believe we can maximize their revenues and profitability."

Discussing comic book collecting, Leigh stated that, "The one remaining bastion for comic speculation remains in online auction sites such as eBay; but even there, comic books remain a buyer's market. The highest price paid for a comic book is $350,000 for Marvel Comics No. 1 bought by Jay Parrino (USA) in November 2001."

"We are also looking at some of the convention businesses, as these can produce substantial revenue with huge exposure to our target market. We recently announced a JV with InvestComics of West Palm Beach, Florida. The joint venture will utilize both companies World Wide Web presence to increase market share and brand awareness in the comic and collectibles industry," concluded Leigh.
