Stan Lee brings his vision to iOS with new IP 'Verticus'
Despite his nearly 90 year old frame, Stan Lee's bombastic enthusiasm and boyish excitement rarely wavers. Taking the stage during the second annual Comikaze expo in Los Angeles – a haven for nerd culture brought to the city by Stan Lee and his production company, POW! Entertainment – Lee and iOS game publisher Moonshark revealed a new property, dubbed Verticus.Why did the creator of Spider-Man and Iron Man (amongst many others) decide to jump into the game development business? "Greed," he joyously announces to the crowd huddled to catch a glimpse of the comic book icon. Lee continues to hurl self-aggrandizing (but insincere) statements at the crowd, all in the name of fun. "Is my name big enough?" he interrupts as the reveal trailer for Verticus begins to play on a large screen behind him. The crowd laughs; Lee is the master of the room. Everyone at the event adores the man and his work, and even though he isn't serious about his own importance, all in attendance agree he should be.
