10 Amazing Stan Lee Comics Marvel Fans Must Read

5. Just Imagine...

Stan Lee Amazing Fantastic Incredible
DC Comics

From 2001 to 2002, DC Comics did one of the weirdest things they've ever done without Grant Morrison being attached. They released the 'Just Imagine' line of comics, in which Stan Lee would reimagine the entirety of the DC Universe as if they were original characters from his mind. Batman, Wonder Woman, Superman and the Justice League were reworked into heroes that Lee would have made, and it makes for a pretty surreal experience.

The story of Wayne Williams coming out of prison to become both a wrestler and a masked crimefighter known as Batman is solid. Superman being a cop from a far off planet with special tech trying to put mankind on the right path so our space program can advance enough to get him home is a bit gelatinous, but still, it too isn't so bad.

The reason these are amazing and Must Reads is because the novelty of seeing Lee reimagine DC greatest characters doesn't get old. Each story, and Stan's take on a Crisis event, is worth reading to compare and see the What If? nature unfold. It isn't even a standalone anymore, because after the Convergence event at DC, the Just Imagine universe is now Earth-6!
