Stan Lee Creates Indian Superhero For Liquid Comics

Posted 12/22/11 1:30 pm EST by 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...

Go To Lunch With Stan Lee - For Charity!

Posted 10/4/11 4:49 pm EST by in Stan Lee


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.

Arnold Schwarzenegger To Become The Governator - With Help From Stan Lee!

Posted 3/31/11 12:30 pm EST by 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...

MTV Geek Exclusive Video: Stan Lee & The NHL Talk 'The Guardian Project'

Posted 2/1/11 5:52 pm EST by in Comic Books, Sports, Stan Lee


The 30 superheroes of 'The Guardian Project,' the brainchild of Stan Lee, Guardian Media Entertainment, and the National Hockey League, were unveiled this past Sunday at the NHL All-Star game in Raleigh, North Carolina. Each original superhero -- or Guardian -- is based on a different NHL team, incorporating unique elements of each team's name into the powers/design. The idea was, according to NHL VP of Marketing Brian Jennings, to reach out beyond the hardcore Hockey enthusiast to the "casual fan" utilizing the universal medium of comics. And who better to help do that than Stan "The Man" Lee himself?

"It's been a very exciting project," Stan Lee told MTV Geek, "because the idea of creating 30 superheroes at one time -- well, you can imagine! We were very lucky because the names of all the teams lend themselves to superheroes."
