Holy cow, that second one brings back memories!
I remember seeing that one a lot back when I got comics as I was growing up. Big fan of the X Men, Wolverine and Spider-Man.
He should get more recognition for his incredible contribution to American culture. He didn't invent comics, nor superheros, he just opened the genre in a way no one else had ever done and helped bring a sense of real art to comics. I grew up reading DC comics, Superman, Batman, Green Lantern, but when I read my first Fantastic Four comic, I never bought or read another DC book.
RIP. Nuff said.

It just dawned on me that we lost both creators of Spider-Man this year.
Damn. I didn't even think about that.
RIP
While I was growing up, whenever I felt alone and without a place in this world, I could pick up one of my copies of the X-Men and once again feel like I belonged. The outsider no more. I learned that I did belong, sometimes that was all that kept me going.

I met Stan Lee back in 1987 at an appearance that was at the then-second location of Silver Snail Comics on Yonge above Yonge & Eglington here in Toronto. He was like he's described, and he drew me a picture of Peter Parker & Mary-Jane Watson facing each other smiling with the first stanza of the song Love & Marriage underneath it (this was during the whole 'Peter and Mary-Jane get married' event of that year.) I'll never forget him, or that time, and I'll always cherish the universe of characters he'd created with Jack Kirby and others, who now live on the big and small screens, entertaining millions.
Good-bye Stan, and thank you.

It had to happen, but this is truly a sad moment. Stan Lee practically taught me to read in the early 60s-- and write (my teachers had to keep telling me that not every sentence must end in an exclamation point). His larger-than-life characters and imaginative stories and ethical worldview was the first thing that inspired me to create my own stories. His stylized dialogue and prose, like that of Shakespeare and Rod Serling, was unique and still rings in my ears. His heroes, his entire universe, have become modern mythology, an integral part of our culture-- true Americana. There are few creators who have touched so many hearts and minds in their lifetime; his impact on the world is truly immeasurable.
RIP, Stan The Man. Excelsior!

He reshaped comics, not just Superhero comics, but Manga and European comics as well...
Excelsior Mr. Lee, thanks for everything!
I mentioned this to some friends as well. I hope he did indeed get the time to film the SM:FFH cameo
Question: Having an "In Memory" of sequence before/after how many more movies??
Captain Marvel, a character he didn't create or co-create is the first one up.
Avengers 4 then SM:FFH are the last '19 films. Both of those make sense but is repeating it going to seem too much?
They could do "In Memory of" for Stan in Avengers 4, and for Ditko in SM:FFH.
I think they should use CG face-swapping so that Stan Lee can cameo in Marvel movies forever. I think he'd be cool with it.
