Links: Stan Lee’s newest superhero

December 3, 2013 by Brigid Alverson   Leave a Comment

Metro UK takes a look at Chakra the Invincible, a new superhero character created by Stan Lee (of Spider-Man fame). Chakra is a 14-year-old “tech whiz” who gets his superpowers from a special suit; he has already starred in an animated cartoon and mobile apps in India, and his print comic will debut in India this month and in the U.S. in the spring.

Yen Press is shutting down its manga anthology, Yen Plus, after five years of publication, first in print and then as a digital-only magazine.

Sholly Fisch talks about the new series he is writing for IDW, Mr. Peabody and Sherman, which is based on the classic cartoon and is also the lead-in to the upcoming animated film.
