I forgo the usual welcome to our #SatTOYday news as this week's issue is of course coming in the wake of the death of the icon, Stan Lee. Stan shaped my youth and my interests from a young age, particular seeing his characters come to life on screen with the early TV Hulk movies and then into the X-Men 1990's TV series. And of course most recently with his impact on the 10 years of the Marvel Cinematic Universe where his characters have been brought to the forefront of current interest and how the flaws he built into them help us associate with them directly. What Stan built, along with the other writers, is a legacy that will last a lifetime and I salute Stan the Man and will not forget what he did....
This week's issue is dedicated to Stan Lee, with all the usual news inside - from Stan's beloved Marvel, to other licences that he and his company touched and influenced including NECA and McFarlane. I hope you will take a moment before diving in to remember Stan.
Excelsior!
