NYCC: Stan Lee Plays 'Marvel Avengers: Battle For Earth' (Video)
Posted 10/15/12 10:32 am EST by MTV Geek in New York Comic Con, Stan Lee, Video Games
Comic book industry legend -- and serial movie cameo actor -- Stan Lee has just received a pacemaker, according to a press release put out by his company POW! Entertainment. Describing himself as now being more like Tony Stark, Lee assured he didn't "desert" his fans after a series of recent convention cancellations. Here is the full press release:
POW! ENTERTAINMENT RELEASES A MESSAGE FROM ITS CHAIRMAN STAN LEE
BEVERLY HILLS, CA – SEPTEMBER 28, 2012 – POW! Entertainment (OTCQB: POWN) (Company), the media and entertainment company, today has a message from its founder and Chairman:
Attention, Troops!
This is a dispatch sent from your beloved Generalissimo, directly from the center of Hollywood’s combat zone!
Now hear this! Your leader hath not deserted thee! In an effort to be more like my fellow Avenger, Tony Stark, I have had an electronic pace-maker placed near my heart to insure that I’ll be able to lead thee for another 90 years.
But fear thee not, my valiant warriors. I am in constant touch with our commanders in the field and victory shall soon be ours. Now I must end this dispatch and join my troops, for an army without a leader is like a day without a cameo!
Excelsior!

He's the hardest-working man in comics: even with Philly Con last weekend, Stan Lee still took the time to talk to MTV Geek about this year’s Comikaze...as well as his new YouTube channel, World of Heroes. He also gives a little bit of a tease about what we can expect from the channel in the future.
MTV Geek: What can we expect at Comikaze this year?
Stan Lee: More famous guest stars than you can imagine! More exciting panels and surprises than the average fan can handle-- but luckily you're not average!
Remember, Comikaze is going to be bigger and better than ever! I was originally approached by Comikaze CEO Regina Carpinelli after being at the con last year and knew that I had always wanted to have my own convention. So far we have teamed up with Buzzmob to help accommodate all of the people who can’t make it and are working to make this a fan convention, since, after all, the fans are everything! Read More...

Stan Lee Creates Indian Superhero For Liquid Comics
Posted 12/22/11 1:30 pm EST by MTV Geek in Comic Books, Stan Lee
By Danica Davidson
Stan Lee doesn’t seem to know the meaning of the word “retirement,” and why should he? The mighty creator of iconic comics continues to create new characters, and the latest is Raju Rai, the star of Chakra — The Invisible.
Chakra — The Invincible takes place in India, has an Indian hero, and is aimed for an Indian readership (though I imagine others will be checking it out as well). It’s being published by Liquid Comics, which has buildings in America as well as Bangalore, and was founded by Sharad Devarajan, Gotham Chopra and Suresh Seetharaman. It’s teaming up with Lee’s company POW! Entertainment to bring Chakra to life. Read More...
Stan Lee Wants YOU To Design His Next Great T-shirt (For Charity)
Posted 11/11/11 11:58 am EST by Alex Zalben in Stan Lee
Want Stan Lee to give you the shirt off his back? Well, good luck with that, but now you can do the next best thing… Design the shirt ON his back. Or, more simply, Stan Lee is holding a T-Shirt design context.
Stan Lee's "WORLD OF HEROES" T-Shirt Design Challenge – which benefits the John Wayne Cancer Institute – launched on November 4th, and now through the 20th you can submit a design based on the phrase “World of Heroes” for a chance to win $1000 and help out a good cause. According the release announcing the context, “The 5 winning tees will be custom printed in limited quantity, individually hand-numbered, and sold in support of the charitable cause.”
Ever wanted to break bread with the man who created Spider-Man and The Fantastic Four? Well now you can, and all you need to pay is YOUR IMMORTAL SOUL.
That’s not true at all, although you CAN win lunch with Stan The Man while supporting a good cause. CharityBuzz, a website that sets up cool, celebrity driven auctions, is offering chance for lunch with Lee, as well as his business partner Gill Champion, with all proceeds going to support Communities in School of Los Angeles.
The current minimum bid for that is $2,360, with the lot closing on October 19th, so you better get cracking. If, however, you don’t have the money for that particular item, you can still pick up a copy of The Marvel Encyclopedia signed by Stan Lee through October 5th. The book is currently going for $500, and will benefit the Young Story Tellers Foundation. Sadly, you’ll have to pay for your own lunch with this one.
In other news, you can win lunch with me for only the price of a sandwich. Okay, half a sandwich. Okay, a bite.

It felt like this year's Baltimore Comic-Con hit a new record for attendance, and it just goes to show that people are still very much interested in comic books -- both traditional and digital (if the packed house at the comiXology panel was any indication). Lines wrapped around the convention floor for such comic luminaries as Stan Lee, Greg Capullo, David Finch, Adam Hughes and Barry Kitson, and fans swarmed spinner racks and tables full of the latest titles.

Arnold Schwarzenegger To Become The Governator - With Help From Stan Lee!
Posted 3/31/11 12:30 pm EST by Valerie Gallaher in Comic Books, Stan Lee, TV
He's played virtual superheroes in the movies, but now Arnold Schwarzenegger is set to be a real-life one -- sort of. The former California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger will be teaming up with comics legend Stan Lee in 2012 to put out a combination TV series/comic book called The Governator. As Schwarzenegger told Entertainment Weekly:
“When I ran for governor back in 2003 and I started hearing people talking about ‘the Governator,’ I thought the word was so cool,” Schwarzenegger, 63, tells EW in his first press interview since leaving office last January. “The word Governator combined two worlds: the world of politics and the movie world. And [this cartoon] brings everything together. It combines the governor, the Terminator, the bodybuilding world, the True Lies…”
The Governator will have all the standard superhero stuff: supersuits to allow him to fly, hi-tech vehicles, a colorful cast of arch-enemies, and even "The Arnold Cave." Read More...
