Spider-Man...... India???????
<a href='http://www.gothamcomics.com/spiderman_india/' target='_blank'>WTF</a>?
"Spider-Man India interweaves the local customs, culture and mystery of modern India, with an eye to making Spider-Man’s mythology more relevant to this particular audience. Readers of this series will not see the familiar Peter Parker of Queens under the classic Spider-Man mask, but rather a new hero – a young, Indian boy named Pavitr Prabhakar. As Spider-Man, Pavitr leaps around rickshaws and scooters in Indian streets, while swinging from monuments such as the Gateway of India and the Taj Mahal."

Well, I'm all for a bit of foreign cultural influence. But this looks more like a marketing ploy to increase sales in a non-western culture. Why not build on something already present in that culture, than just slapping a silly skirt and stupid shoes on a established comic book "hero".
BTW: I haven't seen the latest Spiderman-film, but from what I could judge of the trailer, it's gonna suck!
