Replacing Spider-Man with a half-black, half-latino kid is the worst kind of liberal garbage in the history of all comics! It’s a vicious, bile-forming, rage-inducing, anti-America affront to all that is good and decent in this world! Glen Beck was right in claiming this was just the liberal media’s way of sucking up to President Obama and the First Lady. We should all get pitchforks and torches and march down to the Marvel officers and burn them asunder!

Ultimate Comics: All-New Spider-Man #1

No, I’m kidding. It’s actually a pretty cool comic, starting off the new Ultimate Spider-Man with a slow burn introduction. It’s written by the master of the slow burn, Brian Michael Bendis, so I’m more than willing to give him time to work his magic. That’s how the original Ultimate Spider-Man started, after all, and it was a fantastic story back in 2000.

Glen Beck really did say that, or something similar. And his anger made Bendis smile. A lot of people were freaking out when it was announced that ethnically-diverse 13-year-old Miles Morales would be taking over for white bread Peter Parker. They’re fools. I’m behind Miles 100%, even if I think they killed off Peter while his story was still very good and entertaining. Still, change is good and I trust Bendis to tell us a good and entertaining story. I wrote a blog post about Miles back when he was first announced, and I said it might be cool to see the themes and style of Spider-Man told through the eyes and world of a new character. It’s not like this is the first time that any superhero, Spider-Man included, has ever been replaced by someone new under the mask.
