Stan Lee gets into the action in Amazing Spider-Man

I really like Stan Lee. I don't know what it is about him, but even knowing that whole "lovable grandfather" thing is probably an act just makes me love him even more. He's a great entertainer who knows how to promote like a champ, and though his recent ventures haven't exactly met with great acclaim (hey Stripperella), you've still gotta have respect for the guy who turned Spider-Man into a household name.

So, seeing Stan Lee swinging around town in the Amazing Spider-Man video game. Excellent. Is anyone as excited for this game as me?
