The Real Stan Lee as per Warren Ellis

Here's a pretty f*****g hilarious send-up of Stan Lee, by Warren Ellis.

One of the things I like about Warren Ellis is that he is genuinely curious about the new. He brings a hands-on technology feel to his work that makes for very cool comics. Two examples: The Global Frequency was an amazingly novel and well-executed comic, one of my all-time favorites; and I think his interpretation of the Fantastic Four in Ultimate Fantastic Four remains the only compelling bundle of ideas injected into that moribund franchise in the last thirty years.

In UFF, Ellis equipped Dr. Doom with a Nintendo controller used to operate an army of Bluetooth swarmbots! By rooting the technology of Doom and Richards on contemporary platforms and physics theory, Ellis made the the characters seem realistic and worldly.

Anyway, I'd love to read a Warren Ellis She-Hulk story.
