This is my first blog post about the San Diego Comic-Con and the various news pouring out of it. There will be a new series this fall from Marvel called Villains For Hire. While the name sure rings a bell, the real treat from this cover is that some version of Stilt-Man will appear! That’s fantastic news! Stilt-Man is one of my all time favorite dorky super-villains! So seeing him back in comics definitely earns that title a ‘buy’ from me.

I’m curious to see who it will be. The original Stilt-Man, Wilber Day, is dead, and then there was Lady Stilt-Man. I bet it will be someone new in the suit. Basically his ‘power’ is that he built a robotic suit (like Iron Man) with long, telescoping stilt-legs! Comics!

Stilt-Man! There in the back.

I once had a cool comic idea for Stilt-Man. He’d basically be a Jason Bourne figure who lost his memory and resorted to his base knowledge and instincts. I figure Stilt-Man would have some skill in weaponry, engineering and super science. He could be pretty badass. Then as the series progressed, he’d slowly regain his memory and learn that he’s Stilt-Man, one of the dorkiest super-villains in the Marvel Universe. Then he’d be torn between his old life and his new life!

I’m thinking I should start posting more of my comic ideas on this blog. Might be fun to see what people think.
