On to comics - appropriately enough to ask about given his birthday (83!) was this week - It's been announced that Stan Lee is coming back to Marvel for a 5-part story starting in August which will have him interacting with Marvel characters and drawn by today's artists. What can you say beyond that?

JQ- I can say that we're thrilled and that I'm drawing one – I know, I know, insert late jokes here - wait – I can do it for myself…Stan wrote my story in 1964, knowing that I would start on it as soon as I was born. I'm just putting the finishing touches on it now, so I think it'll ship on time. It's going to be a great project, Stan working on his all time favorites along with some of today's fan fave creators.

Whose idea was the story? Did Stan pitch it your way, or was it something that was generated internally, and presented to Stan?

JQ- It was internally generated and then pitched to Stan.

Should be fun. I might get it if the price isn't too steep.

Love Stan Lee, but man, the guy can't write to save his life anymore.

My theory of that whole Stan Lee Imagines the DCU is that Stan was such a "Marvel Guy", that he intentionally wrote such silly stories to make the Distinguished Competition look bad.

I'll definitely check it out.

Also, my thoughts on Just Imagine are that it might be a lot harder to completely redo characters that have been around for 60+ years. It's not like he just revamped them, taking the good things that were done in the past and putting a new spin on it. I think it would be a lot tougher to actually turn them into completely new characters.

I'd check it out, but I'm curious as to why the man doesn't plot his newer stories.

I remember Spider-Man/Kingpin a few years back was scripted by Lee/ plotted by Defalco, although I liked the results.

I'm more excited about this than any of the big event comics of the past 2 years.

I'm a Stan Lee mark of the highest order. I'm still waiting for them to bring back the Merry Marvel Marching Society.
