Marvel Screws Stan (the man) Lee
I saw this over at Eric's. Marvel is cheating Stan Lee, creator of just about every good silver age comic book character from the profits of the movie Spider Man:
The creative force behind Spider-Man, the Incredible Hulk and the X-Men filed a $10 million lawsuit Tuesday, charging his old comic book company is cheating him out of millions of dollars in movie profits. Stan Lee, who crafted a menagerie of superpowered heroes with very human flaws, now claims Marvel Entertainment Inc. has tried to shut him out of the “jackpot” success of this summer’s “Spider-Man” movie.
That just blows. You won't see me buying the Spiderman DVD (well that's because the movie sucked) or seeing The Hulk or X-Men 2 until this is cleared up.
*thinks about it for a few seconds*
Okay maybe I will see X-Men 2 -- but no Hulk and I mean it!
