    A few weeks ago during San Diego Comic-Con we announced that Boom! Studios would be teaming up with comic book legend Stan Lee to launch three all new ongoing series. The three new books have been co-created by Stan Lee and POW! Entertainment and the stories will revolve around all new characters- Soldier Zero, written by Paul Cornell with art by Javier Pina, The Traveler by Mark Waid and Star Born by Chris Roberson. Each are superhero genre books and will come out over the course of the next three months. But hey, don't let me tell you when Stan 'The Man' Lee can tell you himself! Check out the video below of Stan Lee talking about the new ongoing books he helped to create. I feel like BOOM! and POW! sound pretty good together, don't you? Does the fact that Stan Lee has attached his name to the following books make you, as a reader, more inclined to pick them up?

    These books sound like going back to 60s stories in the present...
    Clearly since I am a huge fan of Stan Lee I will be picking these books up when they come out!

    They each sound interesting. I love what Waid is doing with Irredeemable, and Cornell's run on Action Comics has been great. May give 'em a look.

    No offense, Stan, but where is your talent for ideas that haven´t been there? Alien this, alien that, and Iron Man revisited...
     
    I will buy those books (hey, i grew up with your work - even when it was translated) but after seeing this video i don´t have much hope this will last long and Lee´s BOOM will be loud enough to be heard...
     
    You are my Superhero, but this has no real "power" in it  as ist seems to me... :(

    @Luke Danes:  good to see i'm not the only one that this video didn't do anything for.  Stan Lee is adorable, a legend, and a cornerstone for our entire industry; but these new stories look very lackluster; was hoping for something more.

    @Luke Danes:  
      
    MAN! You guys are a terrifically tough twosome!  You hear one line pitches and see a couple of panels of art and you are writing off the whole endeavor? C'mon! You'll see some interior pages of STAN LEE'S SOLDIER ZERO #1 very shortly. At least wait until you READ some of the actual book before you condemn it! 
     
    And... I've seen the pages. I've read the scripts. They are awesome. You all might just miss the boat on this one!

    I´m not missing them, ChipBOOM, as i wrote i will buy them, but i´m not impredssed with the ideas themselves.
     
    We will see and then all of the new Leeverse will be finally judged! ;o)
     
    But, the times when a good Artist could save a bad storyidea for are long gone... ;o)

    @Xangel: yeah. hes an awesome guy and im really glad for what hes done for the industry, but sometimes it seems like he never dislikes anything so its hard to tell what he really thinks is good and what he doesnt you know? these look okay. maybe soldier zero, but this definitely isnt making me want to go out and buy them right away no matter what. kind of same old same old.

    I've been finding myself picking up more and more Boom! and Dynamite books.  Those guys have some great stuff on their labels right now. 
     
    As for that video, man...Stan needs to stop being prompted!  Just talk, dood!  We'll listen to anything you say!

    @ChipBOOM: Not missing them, just giving initial reactions; my whole job depends on making timely decisions on what looks good and what needs work; entire corporations, giant projects, and ground breaking films are all sold on one line pitches so you always have to make it your best.  Also, while I appreciate your enthusiasm for the new work, it does need to come with a grain of salt as you work for BOOM.  Am I being too skeptical? Maybe, but I'll judge for myself when the books are actually released; until then good luck on your new endeavors and hopes that your company thrives as there is always room for new talent outside the big 2!
