Stan Lee Versus Shakespeare? It's ON
See what I did there? Versus? It’s, like, a pun. Like Stan Lee “verses” Shakespeare? No? No? OK. Let's move on. But... it works (ok not really) because the greater part of Romeo and Juliet is in blank VERSE, as in the unrhymed, iambic five-stress (decasyllabic) verse, or iambic pentameter, introduced into England from Italy by Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey, about 1540… ...and Stan Lee has just adapted Romeo and Juliet into comic form. Which is PDG, if you ask me. Watch the trailer...

A Brand New 'Game of Thrones' Book Coming in July
Yes, yes, yes, it's really called the 'A Song of Ice and Fire' series, but with more people across the world getting excited, caught up and then blown away by the HBO translation of George R.R.

The...
