Living In Stan Lee's World ' And Building A New One

Skip Harvey wrote for Bleeding Cool from San Diego Comic Con

Stan Lee may be the hardest working man in media. After seeing in both in L.A. and while presenting 'Stan Lee's World of Heroes', I'm convinced his chest contains some sort of Infinity Gem.  Based on his enthusiasm Stan seems to have willed his new YouTube Channel in to our computers without need of Internet.

That having been said, this project seems more ambitious and to have more credibility than many of his recent endeavors. Once again Stan is delegating much of the creative input to a high profile cast, including Mark Hamill (an unnamed podcast), Peter David (the unfinished but scripted cartoon 'Head Cases'), Adrian Curry (reality show 'Superfans'), America Young (live action scripted comedy 'Geek Therapy'), and Bonnie Burton ('Geek DIY ' 'nuff said).

Room 8 isn't spacious, nor is it often used for content announcements from one of the larger publishers. The Marvel All Winners Squad, however, managed to snag hot Geek commodity Morgan Spurlock as a moderator and with him, came cosplay. Much in the tone of Harvey Birdman, GLA: Disassembled or Dan Slott's She-Hulk, 'All Winners Squad' is a short animated web series featuring collection of D-list Marvel characters such as The Unicorn, Squirrel Girl, Frogman, Walrus, Ruby Tuesday, the indomitable Howard the Duck and Hypno Hustler (think Blackslpoitation Dazzler).
