I knew this day was coming, I was waiting for how I might feel for me to experience the death of someone that inspiration for me. But unlike musicians and actors that often die 1/2 or 1/3rd (or 1/4th) this age, I was expecting and content with the outcome of his life.

Aside from the shock of the headline finally coming out, I think I can be content just saying so long.

I'm happy that he lived a good life, I hope he rests in peace.

I'm an avid comic book collector, so he had a huge influence on my life.

His last few years were pretty tumultuous, and filled with controversy because of his "handlers" that appeared to be taking advantage of him. Stan Lee signing things at conventions looked more like a sweatshop than anything else, with his "handlers" having to tell him how to sign his name eventually. Hopefully they didn't inject themselves into his will or exploited him for huge gains.

I always chuckled at his cameo appearances in the movies. Always expected, but in unexpected situations. It was one distinguishing thing in his movies. Of course, the stories were too (depending on the movie).

What a phenomenal legacy he has created and left! He will be missed...and his appearance will be sorely missed in future movies!
