Another day, another Obama infomercial. President Barack Obama held a townhall style meeting today, one in which the audience was "hand-picked" by White House staffers. It was conveniently "moderated" by...

jpm,
Stan Lee is a flaming leftist, remember a few years ago he killed off Captain America, Superman was "Truth, justice and... all that other stuff."
We let it happen.

Hey, Stan Lee is an amazing man, flaming him just makes you look whiny. And since when is thinking, acting or being different from someone else a bad thing? I think the comic is a fantastic idea and will become another part of Stan Lee history.

Stan Lee is a comic book genius, however, he's lost much of the appeal he used to hold for me when he started to believe Horrywood values were what most of America wanted to see in it's "superheroes". I'd like to see a return of truth, justice, and the American Way in comic books. How about a return of Sgt. Rock, hell, it ain't like you couldn't use Brad Kasal for the pattern. Even pronounces it "castle", it's a perfect match. Maybe Brian Chontosh, Pat Tillman, Michael Monsoor, or Paul Smith could be used. It's not like we don't have heroes that are more than the average "joe on the street" to look up to, just that nobody knows what they've done. Let's put their stories in comic book form. I'd pay for a copy for my kids.
