Stan's still The Man
Date: 2012-03-04 06:40 pm (UTC)But Stan, with these Elseworlds, showed that with the right tweaks the DC characters could be every bit as colorful and exciting. "Like E.T. Use that line!" These guys here could easily trade banter with the likes of Spidey or Ben Grimm.
Imagine if they'd actually gotten Stan to help create the nuDC instead of Geoff Johns and *ugh* Scott Lobdell. You want to create a truly modern DC, Powers That Be?That's how you do it. Stan's created characters that will be around for generations to come. Can anyone name a single Geoff Johns creation for whom that'll be the case?

Date: 2012-03-05 05:10 am (UTC)In my opinion, the whole "Just Imagine Stan Lee" series was a failed experiment that never should've happened. Some things are best kept as "what ifs". The only decent books on there were Wonder Woman, Aquaman and Batman. And even then, they weren't his finest work.
In fact, I did a video review for my webshow focusing on Just Imagine Stan Lee's Superman (the previous ones were on Stan's GL and Shazam).
Here's the link.

It has basically my entire opinion of the book in detail.

Date: 2012-03-05 12:35 pm (UTC)As an Elseworld it's harmless, and an interesting commentary on how such heroes probably would be handled (Though I think "Zenith" did it better), but it's a terribly... uninspiring world for the most part. If it's Stan Lee doing "The World Outside your Window", it's got a lot of parts that I don't really WANT outside my window, still less made the focus of a superhero story.
I may be old fashioned (and I am) but I don't really WANT an unscrupulous money-minded eye-on-the-main-chance operator like this Lois to prosper. Yes I can see Superman being more than that as the story progresses, but even so....
