Aren't IDW the same jerks that Disney gave Star Wars and Big Hero 6 to? How much stuff have they taken from Marvel? I don't know about Star Wars (mainly because I've seen recent Star Wars comics being released recently in prep for the movies, but I'v never heard of Disney giving it to IDW instead of Marvel later on), but apparently the Big Hero 6 thing is true, which makes one wonder if Disney has forgotten where they originally came from. Disney gave them a Star Wars comic for children. Despite Marvel's Star Wars stuff being pretty decent.

And Disney has totally forgotten where BH6 came from. The movie, tv show, prequel manga and sequel comic all have absolutely no involvement from Marvel aside from having Stan Lee in a recurring role as Fred's Dad, while the team themselves have been absent from all Marvel stuff since 2012 aside from the smallest cameo from Tadashi as an AI chip in Age of Ultron.

Even when Baymax and Hiro were added to Disney Infinity and we got a Play Set to tie into Civil War, I directly asked one of the heads of the game if Baymax and Hiro would be playable (because they'd announced all Marvel characters would be playable within it) and he said no, because they were classified in-game as "Disney Originals".

So Disney's been screwing with Marvel over this property for a while now.
