This never got serialized, did it? I remember reading the first chapter or something a while back. I like of liked it, it wasn't anything spectacular but it was a bit different to the normal fare. Takei's art was pretty awesome.

It was already announced, I think.

Also, it was serialized in Japan in either V-Jump or Jump SQ.

Yeah, the second tank came out not long ago in Japan. I keep meaning to look at it, but then keep forgetting again.

I'm curious about it, as many creations of Stan Lee are dear to me and Shaman King's art were great.

The thing is, Stan Lee, as a writer, was great because he was somewhat innovative and loved taking credit for things he didn't do, but in his old age, I can't imagine him actually writing anything. He tweets quite a lot which gives a good insight into what kind of man he is now - he loves doing cameos, his followers and POW! Entertainment because its just cotch for him there. He's not great at business either apparently... which explains how he didn't turn Marvel into a large business overnight. :roll:

...Yeah, he tweets a lot and its usually repetitive so the stuff he likes and dislikes gets drilled into you. CAMEOS, CAMEOS, CAMEOS!

His animated cameos are even cooler. He had an Oscar-winning performance in Fantastic Four as well, IIRC.
