HeroBlend #31: Thank You, Stan Lee

Welcome to HeroBlend #31! This week, Eric and Adrienne will honor the life and legacy of Stan Lee. Before we get to our memories of the comic book legend and pop culture icon, though, we'll delve into the week's other top news stories. As such, we're going to have info for you on the newly revealed origins of the Infinity Stones, Venom's continued box office wins and the other major comic movie it just surpassed, Infinity War concept art and details on the new Walt Disney World Guardians of the Galaxy ride.

Then, we'll get to the bulk of the podcast and devote the rest of the time to a lengthy discussion of Stan Lee. This will include his life, work, legacy as a comic creator and pop culture icon, how he changed the comic book business and the entertainment business, as well as how his work, especially, changed Eric's life. We will also be going through some of the reactions to his death that were posted to social media this week, including one that led to some controversy. And, of course, no conversation about Stan Lee is complete without a chat about his Marvel Cinematic Universe movie cameos, so we'll get into those as well. Sit back and relax, folks, because this is one chat you're not going to want to miss. Ready to dive in? Great! Listen for yourself above!
