Greetings, true believers.

I'm here to inform you that despite passing away in 2018, Stan Lee is back!

(Well, not really.)

According to The Hollywood Reporter, this year's L.A. Comic Con featured an A.I. Stan Lee hologram, which, for a small fee, allowed attendees to call up the dead Marvel creator for a chat.

Look at this:

Fans will be able to speak with the hologram at the Stan Lee Experience section of the con, a 1,500 ft. enclosed booth which costs between $15-$20 to enter, depending on whether you buy tickets ahead of time. And like meeting a celebrity or getting autographs, there will be paid opportunities to take photos with the hologram or have a three-minute, one-on-one conversation with it.

The project is the brainchild of Bob Sabouni, Head of Stan Lee Legacy Programs for Kartoon Studios and a former Marvel executive, who said,

We'll never put words in his mouth that aren't in line with things he spoke about in his lifetime. Fortunately, with decades of footage capturing his thoughts on so many subjects, we can build a voice that stays true, not always word for word, but always faithful in spirit, context, and intent.

Comic Con organizers have also strongly hinted that the AI hologram may pop up in the forums to announce upcoming projects, introduce top-tier panels, and just generally give attendees the willies.

I'm sad that he's gone too, but this is a bit weird.
