I have to wait for more to form an opinion, but having another superhero universe isn't a bad thing.

It's a relief to be honest. Having a total new and fresh universe just gives a chance to newer readers or for others to actually start somewhere and not worry about having to buy a lot of comics to catch up.

Plus, these guys look cool, but the Soldier Zero looks a lot like a modified Iron Man.

The Travler kind of looks like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herald_(comics)

But it doesn't matter cause Stan Lee can't fail.....right?

Anything with Stan Lee's name on it is worth at least trying

I'd give them a try. Starborn and Soldier Zero look awesome.

Yeah I don't get this sentiment. I know Stan is an important figure in comics and he has done some great work, but when it is just him his ideas are rather bland. Stan works best in the Marvel style, especially when he is the grounding influence of the pair since that works to his strengths. We all have seen the evidence of this in his direct to video features from Pow Entertainment (Mosiac and the Condor) and works such as Ravage 2099. But people always have this weird way with how they regard Stan Lee and it is intentional, because many believe Stan Lee's greatest character is Stan Lee.

This is nothing more than promotion tactic designed to make people think this could be the new Marvel by using Stan Lee's name, it is very smart tactic mind you but nothing more than that. All I am saying is wait to decide until we get more information, just buying because Stan Lee slaps his name on it only shows that comic's greatest salesman found another easy mark.

I always like to give the guy who created Spider-Man, X-Men, Fantastic Four, The Hulk and others the benefit of the doubt in this situation
