With all of the other news going around today (Ben Affleck, Justice League Canada), you might not have heard about Stan Lee’s reality TV show. The project is being worked on, and the great creator could not talk about much. This sounds like an interesting project.
The Jest of Stan Lee’s Reality TV Show
During Fan Expo, Stan Lee “let information slip” about an upcoming reality TV show he is working on which will search for the next great comic book writers and artists out there. Contestants will be judged, and voted off when needed.
Stan Lee’s Reality TV Show Great for Creators
If this project comes to fruition, it will be a great opportunity for lesser-known creators to get noticed. Any opportunity for lesser-known creators to get noticed is a good thing. Even if a creator does not win, he or she might still be picked up on the open market for a particular project.
Stan Lee’s Reality TV Show Great for Fans
As comic book fans, we can often get pigeonholed in our reading. We might find ourselves only gravitating towards certain publishers, certain writers, or certain artists. We might only look at the comics from a particular “family” and forget that there are other titles to explore. Stan Lee’s reality TV show could open all of our eyes to new styles we had not considered before.
Voting on Stan Lee’s Reality TV Show
I am interested to see how the voting panel would be made up. Could we see reps from Marvel DC Comics, Image, and IDW share the judge’s table? Would comic book fans be able to do the voting?
At this point, I am hoping that Stan Lee’s reality TV show comes into being. It would be a great opportunity for creators, and a great opportunity for fans to be exposed to various types of creators.
