EXCLUSIVE: Comic book icon Stan Lee is mixing superheroes with William Shakespeare for his next graphic novel creation. 1821 Comics has made a three-book agreement made with Lee and his POW! Entertainment. The first book is Romeo and Juliet: The War, a futuristic, stylized retelling of the Shakespeare tale, with story by Lee and Terry Douglas, and artwork by Skan Srisuwan. It will be published next spring. Two groups of superhuman soldiers turn the Empire of Verona into the most powerful territory on earth. The Montagues (powerful cyborgs made of artificial DNA) team with the Capulets (genetically enhanced humans with super speed and agility) to destroy all threats to Verona. When they succeed, they turn on one another in a race for total dominance. In this volatile backdrop, a young Monague boy and Capulet girl fall in love and plan to marry in secret.
The 1821 Comics start-up is being backed by entrepreneurs Paris Kasidokostas Latsis and Terry Douglas, who will be at Comic Com today with POW! partners Lee and Gill Champion to announce the project

Oh God, I love you Stan, but I can honestly say I really don't want to read your interpretation of Romeo and Juliet.

Romeo was bitten by a radioactive LOVE
