I love Stan Lee. It was amazing talking to him at San Diego Comic Con last year where we spoke about Time Jumper which Stan Lee created with Disney and POW! Entertainment. You can hear the entire interview here.

That relationship must be doing well because POW! Entertainment has announced that they will be creating a closer relationship to the Walt Disney Company.

“Enhancing our relationship with one of the world’s most creative and innovative entertainment companies makes perfect sense given all the exciting projects we have underway,” said Lee, Chairman and Chief Creative Officer of POW! “Disney has been a great partner for us and we look forward to working closely with them in the coming years. In addition to the huge creative opportunity this affords POW!, it also provides for the next positive stage in the expansion of the company itself.”

Disney has also completed it’s acquisition of Marvel Entertainment Inc. Under the new arrangement with POW!, Walt Disney Studios gets enhanced rights to the creative output and certain exclusive consulting services.

“Stan has incredible creative energy and continues to come up with great original stories that can work across many of our platforms, ranging from console games to motion pictures and from our boys-focused Disney XD network to mobile devices,” said Bob Chapek, President, Worldwide Distribution, Walt Disney Studios. “Put that together with his knowledge and familiarity of the Marvel universe and it makes perfect sense to extend our excellent working relationship with Stan and POW!”
