I gotta assume that if that's the case, Disney is feeding him money just because they don't want Stan Lee Dies Broke headlines.

Those old legends, especially sports stars, are never really broke since they can just hold an autograph signing/do photos. Rinse, repeat until they are dead.

At some point people stop giving a ahit though. We have people calling the store daily looking to dump sports autographs and a large amount of them are bottoming out in value.

I actively avoid buying anything signed. You want me to pay twice the going rate because some person I don't know met a celebrity I'll never meet and has them scribble all over my precious children's comic book? Why would I pay that? Its not enough that rear end in a top hat got to meet Stan Lee you want me to foot his travel expenses too?

If I get something signed it's always personalized. Celebs seem to appreciate it because you're clearly not trying to just make a profit off it.

I just don't see the point of an autographed thing if the autograph isn't a reminder of actually meeting the person. Otherwise it's just a dumb scribble.

I guess if you're buying a print, or original artwork or something? Adds authenticity? I don't know.

We are currently working on getting Jaylon Smith in to do an actual signing so we'll see how many people turn up to get re-sellable stuff.

Rhyno posted:There's a lot of rumors floating around about how cash poor Stan really is and how he's got a lot of debts he wants to square before he dies. He made some really bad deals over the last 20 years and at one point didn't even have the rights to his own name. So I can understand why he'd unretire. But when we saw him at WW two years back he looked like hell and had to be prompted to do pretty much everything. Then there's that video from SDCC where he was on stage with the Fox film cast and when it was over he kind of wandered around looking confused and Channing Tatum rushed over to walk him off the stage. Didn't that one guy loving him over in the Stan Lee Media deal really hurt him? Like, literally millions?

From the top of misty mountains, a wise old mystic whose uncle works at Nintendo passes down the old reports, HAST THOU HEARD, THESE FANTASTIC TALES Word is around the ol' insider water cooler that Stan Lee doesn't even have the rights to his own name! There's plenty of evidence for that, whether it's his frequent appearances at conventions under the name "Stan Lee", his online presence under the name "Stan Lee", or possibly multiple businesses he has launched in the past couple of years using the name Stan Lee, like Stan Lee's Kids Universe, Stan Lee's Comicaze/Comicon, etc. Some heretics say that the secret whisperers high in the castle might not know what the gently caress they're talking about, and they're mixing up the entire debacle of Stan Lee Media (a legally distinct entity/name from Stan Lee the Person With the Name Stan Lee) and how some dirtbag froze out Stan Lee from SLM, stole all of the money from SLM and fled the country. This completely-divorced-from-Stan-Lee-the-person corporation is a bankrupt hollowed out shell that has spent the past decade and a half getting sued and filing frivolous counter lawsuits about how technically maybe they own the X-Men and 20th Century Fox should be paying them, not Disney. They also were selling people licenses to use Spider-Man in stuff despite clearly not owning Spider-Man. They've lost every single case that has been taken to court and this has been going on for fifteen years and all of this is like... right on Stan Lee's Wikipedia page but you know who the gently caress knows, anything is possible and I'm not an insider so maybe Stan Lee is broke as gently caress and has to call himself Lan Stee at signings or something because that's the word on the street.

Stan Lee was taken to the hospital in the 1980s and when they pumped his stomach it was full of two gallons of New Universe comics.

Stan Lee died in a car accident in 1972, the Stan Lee we've seen since then is a very dedicated double. Why do you think he stopped writing comics that year?

Mr Hootington posted:So marvel unlimited had more Adam warlock comics dumped this week. He has gotten a lot put up over the last month. Was he ever cast in GotG2? The closest anything has been said was that Gunn recently said that an Adam Warlock toy that was released was not a toy for the movie even though it was released alongside the movie line. And then when some sites ran that as confirmation that Adam Warlock was not in the movie Gunn said it was not confirmation or denial of anything, just that the toy wasn't part of the Guardians movie toys.

Hi, I'm reading old X-Men comics and I have a question: at what point roughly did writing guidelines in comics shift away from constant expository and explanatory dialogue, magically changing into costume and using terms like magnetism and telekinesis as catch-all justifications for superpowers because as much as I want to get to grips with some superhero history I don't think I can take much more of this. Maybe it's just the concentrated dose. it's some time after 1981 I have gathered that much My Lovely Horse fucked around with this message at 15:07 on Mar 14, 2017 |

Thanks to my transistor-powered computer, I'm able to answer you that it entirely depends on the writer/editor team of the comic and that people like Len Wein were writing in that style well into the late 80s.

Well I'll keep going and maybe Claremont had an epiphany at some point. Or at least stops sending the team to space. Love the space art, hate the space storylines, but did suddenly understand the joke behind that plot arc in Morrison's Doom Patrol.
