Review of
Stan Lee’s Alexa Volume 1,
by Stan Lee et. al.
Five out of five stars
Vintage Stan Lee story
People that
have been reading Marvel comics for many years have noted the occasional self-reference
in a story. It is where the imagination and creativity of comic book writers is
used as a basic plot device. That tactic is used here.
Alexa Moran is
the character of main focus, and she is a talented artist that works for a
comic book publisher called the Fantasy Factory. She often pulls all-nighters
in order to make the deadlines of a very demanding boss. When a portal to
another dimension allows two very large (20-30 feet tall) males to come through
along with a human-sized creature. The normal-sized creature is hunting the two
large creatures.
After an
initial time of puzzlement, the two large creatures discover that Alexa is the
source of the creation of the rift. She is baffled by this designation, after
all, “I only draw people with powers, I don’t have them myself.” Throw in an
editor-in-chief that wants to use all the action in a new series of comic books
and you have a story within a story.
A fun new comic
character formed using input from the legendary Stan Lee, Alexa Moran is a
character to watch and enjoy.
