Something that has been poking around in the media the last week or so is that Stan Lee & Arnold Schwarzenegger are teaming up to bring you The Governator, the adventures of Arnold’s post-political career as a superhero. What you may not have known though, is that the Governator is going for a four-pronged media blitz, with a 3D movie, merchandising, cartoon and comic in the works. It was just announced today that Archie Comics will be publishing the Governator comic series.
The premise behind the series is this: Arnold decides to take on villainy that no one else can. He uses his vast resources to create a secret hideout beneath his home, hire a team of techy teens to act as support. He then uses his vast array of technology, including a state of the art motorcycle, various “super suits” and cutting edge weaponry to take the good fight to the streets. Now, if you’re like me, at first glance you might be thinking to yourself how ridiculous the concept is. Then the trailer came out and my opinion changed from “ridiculous” to “ridiculously awesome”! Take a look for yourself.
So yeah, aside from the music used, I’m kind of excited to see this. I’m not all in yet, but I am extremely curious to see what comes out of it. Let us know what you think, and watch for The Governator’s media blitz in 2012!
UPDATE: Here’s the full teaser image from the folks at Archie Comics!
