?Good evening, I?m Stan Lee,? said Ellis as he took the stage. ?I invented Spider-Man. I wanted him to shoot webbing out his a** like a real spider. Steve Ditko got upset about it.?

"Nextwave is an absolute dissolution of the superhero genre. There?s nothing of worth in it whatsoever. It is explosions. It is people getting kinked. It is people getting kinked and then exploding.? To thunderous applause, Ellis then added, ?I will fight anyone who says otherwise and afterwards, they will explode."

Several questions were asked about Ellis? upcoming project for the AMC cable network and the differences between writing comics and writing for television. ?I write comics drunk and that?s the big difference.?

Ellis was asked about his thoughts on scientology. ?I don?t want to say anything,? said Ellis. ?There might be a scientologist in this audience who will burn my house down and Tom Cruise will be standing naked on the ashes with a baby in each arm with three eyes and L. Ron Hubbard T-shirts.?
