More nostalgia, I suppose – I grew up on some of the classic
Stan Lee comics, and I was an avid reader of the various
comics on StanLee.net. So it
saddens me a bit to report that, due to lack of funding,
the aforementioned site is closing for the forseeable future (well, not really closing, but they’re laying off most of their staff and halting production). With the exception
of the really goofy “Backstreet Boys as superheroes” bit, they were turning out some quality stories.
Stan Lee Media closing
The problem is that people do not know how to make money on the web, unless it is advertising something. (i.e. TV shows, Games, movies, etc…) I remember waiting weeks to get my newest copy of FF with Byrne from a subscription. If the webisodics were as good as the comics, I would subscribe to a webisodic that I could download. But right now everyone is running from Web shorts.
