Spiderman India!


They're reimagining SPIDERMAN for India! (Here's another link, with more pics!)

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. Mumbai’s (Bombay’s) first web-swinging superhero will be joined by a reinterpretation of the classic Spider-Man villain, the Green Goblin -- reinvented as a Rakshasa, an Indian mythological demon.

I guess since we're outsourcing so many jobs to India, we might as well send them Spiderman, too...

(special thnx to Roger for e-mailing this to my attention...)
