This is Why Stan Lee Rawks Hard

Shhhhh, I'm not supposed to be online right now.

*looks shiftily to the right/looks shiftily to the left*

I've got a fanfic deadline I have to race to meet, so I must be on the scarce side.

Buuuuuut, I had to do my weekly check-in with scans_daily and lo and behold, there's a scan of a fabu Stan Lee-penned short story where Mr. Lee makes fun of himself and annoys The Avengers.

Remember when Marvel was fun? I mean, sure, Lee gave you angst, but he could also make you laugh yourself stupid in the same comic book. His team-ups with Jack Kirby were freakin' magic, man.

Face it, dudes and dudettes: Those Kirby poses mixed with Lee's over-the-top splash text were the shit.

Check it out. The rawkin' Mr. Lee just penned a real person fic, complete with slash-y undertones between Iron Man and Captain America.

I laughed myself stupid reading it.

Stan Lee is awesome.

We are not worthy. Nope. We're not.

... how did I not know of this comm 'til now? *grin* That just... wow. The snark is mighty! And arguably, it's something that's been missing in the more angsty books more recently. : )

Stan Lee? Slashy?

Ooh. I almost always buy book collections instead of singles, but I almost want this.... Dratted scans, too small to read the print!

IF you click on them a couple of tiems, then let your mouse linger on the top of them you'll get this icon at the bottom right hand corner? Click on that and it goes big enough to read.

Anyway, thanks for pointing me in this direction Liz, it really does rock and I like Stan. He seems like the sort of guy who doesn't take himself or his craft *too* seriously, which I think can be a good thing. Though I don't quite get where you're seeing the slashy undertones I must admit...

AT any rate, the comic was great and the news greater! Thanks.

I ♥ Stan Lee!

Just saw Fantastic Four where his cameo was one of the best parts of the movie. I love someone who doesn't take themselves too seriously.
