Stan Lee, Walt Disney Studios launch "Time Jumper"
Stan Lee, the creator of Spider-Man, X-Men and Iron Man, is revered as a superhero in his own right by comic book fans. Now he's rapidly becoming one of Hollywood's most wanted.
Lee's comic book creations have been box-office gold this summer, with "Iron Man" and "The Incredible Hulk" grossing $313 million and $139 million, respectively.
So, the Walt Disney Co. used the forum of Comic-Con, the annual comic book convention in San Diego, to announce that it was deepening its partnership with Stan Lee's POW Entertainment.
The home entertainment group will work with Lee on a new digital comic book, "Time Jumper." Readers can follow the exploits of a new crew of superheroes, however they choose: online, via mobile phone or old-fashioned comic book format.
"Time Jumper" blends old-fashioned storytelling with technology that extends well beyond dialog and thought bubbles. In its digital form, it'll include music, voices and fast-paced story-boards.
Now for the geeky narrative details: "Time Jumper" follows the exploits of our hero, Terry Dixon, who is an agent of a secret government organization known as HUNT (short for Heroes United, Noble and True). He has a cellphone called The Articulus that has the one feature you can't get -- yet -- from Apple's iPhone: a time machine.
We wonder if it's possible to travel to a time where there are no dropped calls!

Amazingly, Disney and all the other companies dealing with Stan Lee and POW Entertainment are indifferent to the looting of Stan Lee Media by Lee and his Dr Doom puppetter, Lieberman, who bankrupted Stan Lee Media to hide the co-creators rights to Marvel's characters that Stan Lee assigned his namesake company in Oct 1998, and then lootd the assets of the Estate of SLM to start a new public company made up exclusively of Stan le Media insiders- see the $5bb law suit by Stan Lee Media against Marvel and Stan Lee at http://www.inqwizitor.blogspot.com/

Whoever made the previous post obviously does not know what he is talkiong about. Stan never owed any rights and thus could not assign them to anyone else. he has stated that publically and is not part of any lawsuit. All old news by a disgruntled ex con who in the end will receive nothing....Sometimes morons post without doing any homeowrk....
