Stan Lee commemorates his 65th year at Marvel with a series of one-shots uniting him with his greatest characters! The first of these, Stan Lee Meets Spider-Man, features an encounter between Stan and everybody’s favorite wall-crawler, penned by "The Man" himself.Hopefully, it'll be a lot better than the quagmire Spidey's own ongoing titles have sunk into these past six years or so. I wish Stan good luck on this.
Plus, Joss Whedon and Michael Gaydos produce a second tale in tribute to Stan involving an interdimensional cross-time comic book convention. What better way to honor the man responsible for much of Marvel’s success than with an all-new story by the writer of Astonishing X-Men and the artist behind Alias and The Pulse.
And if that wasn’t enough, Stan Lee Meets Spider-Man also contains a classic Stan Lee-scripted story from Amazing Spider-Man #87, in which Spider-Man reveals his identity to his closest friends. Plus, Fred Hembeck joins in the festivities, rallying some of Stan's least-beloved creations to join the party! It’s four stories in one legendary book as Stan Lee celebrates 65 of working at the House of Ideas.
Because if we're going to try and stop the misuse of our favorite comics and their protagonists by the companies that write and publish them, we've got to see what both the printed and online comics news is doing wrong. This blog focuses on both the good and the bad, the newspaper media and the online websites. Unabashedly. Unapologetically. Scanning the media for what's being done right and what's being done wrong.
