...Marvel Comics

Marvel Comics has a long line of comic book heroes that millions of nerds love. They are switching things up with Spider Man, on of their most successful brands and the reason we have at least 2 major blockbuster comic themed movies coming out every Summer. Above is the picture of Miles Morales, the new Spider Man. A half back half Latino teen who might also be gay... Fans will have to wait until the official Spider Man relaunch next month to find out how he came to be the superhero. Peter Parker, the original Spider Man, was killed off by the Green Goblin in June in a controversial move by Marvel which left fans aghast. Morales will have a different set of abilities beyond Spider Senses, possibly gaydar. I have a problem with modernizing things that have been so successful. On the other hand I like it. Why? hope they ruin themselves and create a major backlash with fans thus making it so I never have to see or hear about a major comic book themed movie coming out. I get that they are trying to appeal to the rising minority majority, but if that is the case why not just make him 100% Latino? He looks off unless he is some sort of Dominican mixed something or another. I am giving Marvel Comics a Digit Up. The faster they fall, the faster good movies can be made again.
