And the comic fans rejoice once more... Stan Lee (creator of such recognizable characters as The X-Men, Iron Man and Spider-man) is certainly keeping busy these days. As previously reported, he's put three projects into motion with Walt Disney. Meanwhile, he's further taking his talents to the silver screen in a deal with Rainmaker Entertainment and Brighton Partners. Lee is developing a CG animated film through his company POW!

Lee is best known as the Editor in Chief Emeritus of Marvel Comics, one of the largest comic companies in the world as well as the man who changed the way comic books are written. His latest before the above-mentioned projects was the reality TV show Who Wants to be a Superhero? on Spike TV. He can next be found in a cameo role in the forthcoming Iron Man movie, as well as being worshiped like a god at your local comic convention.
