One of the comics cult creative minds.
In the last few years he has contributed to his favorite part of the super hero genre.
Creating characters.
He reimagined some DC heroes in the line Just Imagine Stan Lee's...
He created some Syfy movie characters..
He created, worked on and hosted the funny reality TV show Who Wants to Be a Superhero?...
And he even created Manga characters in association with mangakas!
Now, his studio, POW! Entertainment, will put up new comics in association with indie publisher Boom! Studios. (arf...well matched company names there!)
In fact, 3 new super hero characters.
In October we will have Soldier Zero by Paul Cornell and Javier Pina.
This will basically by a sort of Green Lantern-meets-Ironman kind of guy.
A guy in a wheelchair bonds with alien technology to fight the good fight with a bio-tech suit.
In November will be published the second book by Mark Waid and Chad Hardin, The Traveler.
This one will be about a time traveller hero who has to protect history, fightin' against a bunch of evil guys tryin' to mess the world.
And in December we'll have Starborn by Chris Roberson and Khary Randolph.
A person discovers his father was an evil super villain, and he will confront what has become of the heroes his dad used to fight against...
They all sound pretty interesting!
Soldier Zero looks like the winner here. But I can imagine the Traveler turning out the best in the end. The pitch sure intrigues me!
Stan Lee still love creating characters, more than directing his own comic book publisher or writing never-ending on-going series.
"The Man" said about the process of imagining and creating super heroes:
"What would I like to read? What hasn't anyone created yet?"
Here's the preview to the very first book you'll be able to check, Soldier Zero:
It sure has that Blue Beetle(Jamie)/Green Lantern-vibe to it!
Anyway, be sure to check at least one of those out~
Stan "The Man" Lee himself tells ya to!
Excellsior!
