The first issue of Stan Lee’s The Traveler introduced one of Lee’s new superheroes–a masked man who calls himself Kronus and possesses some degree of power over the flow of time–and the end of the issue saw him witnessing the death of Agent Julia Martin. But not everything is as it seems, as we find [...]
This week sees the release of Stan Lee’s Starborn #1 from Boom! Studios. On Sunday, 87-year-old Lee and his wife Joanie celebrated their 63rd wedding anniversary; Lee’s birthday is later this month. The legendary comics writer is keeping pretty busy, as octogenarians go. Here, as far as we can tell, are the projects he’s currently [...]
This is what happens when Techland goes to the comic book store: we end up discussing what we picked up. This week, Douglas Wolk, Graeme McMillan, Evan Narcisse and Mike Williams discuss Soldier Zero #1 and the Vertigo Resurrected anthology.
As if Micro isn’t enough Smilin’ Stan Lee for you today, here’s what may be the most unexpected Stan story of recent times: Lee is teaming with the National Hockey League to create a different superhero for each of the 30 teams in the league to debut next year. And, oh, it gets odder. From [...]
It appears that roughly 2/3 of the people in the comics industry are currently working with 87-year-old superhero godfather Stan Lee on some new project or other, and that all of them are going to be announced at Comic-Con. One of them is “7,” to be published by the new Stan Lee Comics imprint (and [...]
This year’s New York Comic Con begins this Friday, October 8, its first year in its new autumnal slot. It’s not quite as overwhelmingly huge as San Diego Comic-Con (maybe half or two-thirds as big, without nearly as much movie-studio presence), but there are still a bunch of panels you’ll want to get there early [...]
A while back, I wrote about Schwarznegger v. EMA, the case going before the Supreme Court that could possibly restrict video game sales. Currently, pro-gamer organizations are marshalling support for their side of the argument. The Entertainment Consumers Association is gathering names for a petition to include in an amicus brief to be submitted as [...]
It appears that the Invisible Woman is on Death Row again. Marvel’s been making a fairly big deal out of Jonathan Hickman and Steve Epting’s forthcoming Fantastic Four story arc “Three,” in which one of the long-running superhero team will die for realsies, and they’ve been understandably hush-hush about which one. This week’s Fantastic Four [...]
You have to hand it to Stan Lee and Boom! Studios: Their latest promotion for their new line of superhero books has managed to make buying the books seem like part of a much nobler quest to keep superheroes alive.
Comic-Con’s events started a little early yesterday: an hour before Preview Night began, Boom! Studios had a press conference to announce three new ongoing series created with Stan Lee’s involvement. Paul Cornell and Javier Pina’s Soldier Zero begins in October, Mark Waid and Chad Hardin’s The Traveler in November and Chris Roberson and Khary Randolph’s [...]
