User blog:ARTaylor/Stan Lee's New Animated Series

Stan Lee is teaming up with The Hollywood Reporter and Deadpool co-creator Fabian Nicieza to create a new adult animated series. Lee's POW! Entertainment has partnered with THR to launch a series based on Stan Lee's Cosmic Crusaders. Based on Lee's concepts, Cosmic Crusaders was written by Nicieza. Lee will edit and voice himself as one of the main characters. The show follows Lee, who, having come down with a case of writer's block, meets seven aliens who have crash-landed on Earth. Each of the aliens has superpowers; however, they can only use their powers in their homeland. On the verge of being captured by "the men in white coats," Lee offers the aliens sanctuary and puts them through intensive superhero immersion training, helping them learn how to access and use their powers on Earth.

Lee said, "I can't wait to bestow upon the world one of our latest creations, Stan Lee's Cosmic Crusaders. And as if this wasn't exciting enough, we've joined forces with the creative teams at The Hollywood Reporter and Genius Brands, so you can guarantee this will be an unforgettable event that you won't want to miss!"

The series will be targeted towards eighteen to thirty-four year-olds. It will be the first series to debut on THR.com. The first four episodes will premiere exclusively on the website with one episode airing each day during this year's Comic-Con and presented in virtual reality. THR will collaborate with distribution partners on releasing the remaining twenty-two episodes.
