What’s up Melt-heads?.. Meltdowners?.. The Dead Melt-Men?… Oh well we’ll come up with that nickname sooner or later, but until that time, check out this quick preview of Stan “The Man” Lee’s latest. (I still have several of his “Superhuman’s” currently on my dvr. For a guy his age he certainly gets around.) “The Traveler” is out of Stan’s own shingle “POW! Entertainment” in conjunction with “Boom! Studios.” (What’s up with the exclamation fetish?) Scroll down and click on the thumbnails below for larger images of the first six pages of Stan Lee’s ” The Traveler” written by Mark Waid with interiors by Chad Hardin, along with several cover art examples. I personally dig the first one – what do you guys/gals think?

The interest and demand for superhero stories in movies and TV is only increasing. As I write this, the show No Ordinary Family is on ABC which is about a family of superheroes, Stan Lee is putting together a super-web series that they plan to bring to TV, and people are buzzing in anticipation about the Green Lantern, Thor, and Avengers movies. Not to mention, the recent Spider-man, Brave and the Bold, Iron Man, Avengers, and Marvel Superheroes cartoons. Superheroes are all the rage.
