Disney has renewed its first look pact with Stan Lee’s POW Entertainment.  This will be a two year deal that gives the House of Mouse the option of taking POW’s content and spinning it into television, publishing, games, and online or mobile content.

The first project spinning out of this deal is Lee’s Time Jumper, a digital comic book series that Disney will distribute across various media (web and mobile most likely).

Project revolves around the character of Terry Dixon, an agent of the secret government org HUNT (Heroes United, Noble and True), who has a cell phone called the Articulus that’s also a time machine. When his brother is lost in time, Terry must try to find him before an a criminal cartel does.

Previous to Time Jumper, POW and Disney have created Nick Ratchet, Blaze, and Tigress.

If you tried to keep up with the myriad of announcements coming from the New York Comic Con, you might have missed the announcement that Stan Lee is forming a new partnership with Virgin Comics.

And who better to share in the fun, creating wondrous new worlds without limit, than the incredibly talented and dedicated guys at Virgin Comics!”

“Legion of 5″ — owned jointly by Rainmaker [Entertainment], POW! and Brighton [Partners] — is planned as a series of CG-animated films but with a cross-platform approach to include games, online and mobile releases. Merchandizing is part of the plan as well.

Stan the man Lee will be at the New York Comic Con this weekend, and I bet if you ask nicely he may just tell you a bit more about the project.
