Stan Lee's new webcomic - completely free to read!
Stan Lee is a
comics icon and has created some of Marvel's biggest names, from
Spider-Man and Iron Man to the Fantastic Four. Now he's joined up with
LINE Webtoon to create a new world from scratch in a series called Backchannel.
Backchannel is a new series co-developed between LINE Webtoon and Lee's POW Entertainment, and centers around a high school student named Tom Tanner. Tanner is a uniquely talented engineering prodigy who lives with his father, but he soon finds himself imbued with powers that allow him to hack into electronic devices. When he discovers some elements of his Father's past, his life starts to change drastically.
In need of a moment of escapism, Tom returns to his favorite digital comics. This time though, the comic is disturbingly on point with what Tom has been experiencing. As he continues to read, Tom realizes that there are encrypted messages in the comic from an unknown ally who clearly knows everything Tom has been up to.

The book will be written by Stan Lee and LINE Webtoon Head of Content Tom Akel, with art provided by the talented Andie Tong (Spider-Man, Batman Strikes, TRON).
“I’m elated to bring a different kind of hero to LINE Webtoon with teenage master hacker Tom Tanner. This is a story filled with mystery and adventure of an underdog programming prodigy who will go to the ends of the Earth to save his father – you won’t want to miss it. Excelsior!” said Stan Lee.

The
characters that Lee created have always managed to balance absurd
amounts of power with relatability, and that seems to be the case for
Tanner as well. “Stan Lee is a living legend and it’s an honor that he
has created this story exclusively for LINE Webtoon,” said Junkoo Kim,
Founder and Head of LINE Webtoon. “Readers will be entranced by this
genre blending world that echoes series from Spider-man to Mr. Robot.”
