Excelsior! Stan Lee Honored at 2007 NYCC
Next year's New York Comic-con is looking even better after show officials announced that the inimitable Stan Lee—the man who made New York City hometown for Marvel Superheroes—will appear as a Guest of Honor at next year's NYCC, held Feburary 23-25 at the Jacob Javits Convention Center. The legendary Lee, co-creator of characters like the Fantastic Four, The X-men and the Incredible Hulk, will also figure in a exhibition to be held at the Museum of Comicand Cartoon Art in SoHo, that will open the same weekend as New York Comic-con.
These days Lee lives in L.A. and is the head of POW! Entertainment.
"Looking forward to seeing comicdom assembled next February," says Lee. "Don'tcha dare be late!"
Star Wars: Legacy #1: 2 (Dark Horse): We check out Dark Horse’s ongoing Star Wars series. Why do I like it? The Sith look like G.W.A.R. Seriously, G.W.A.R.
Hack/Slash: First Cut (Devil’s Due Publishing): The tables are turned when a series of Jason and Freddy-esque Slashers get hunted by a teenage girl. Somehow, I think the Buffy fans will like this.
Martian Manhunter #1 (DC): Wow. You made me like the Martian Manhunter in a solo book. Advantage DC.
