that the tradgedy of September 11th has changed the entire world and inhibited many things in it certainly everything here in the states. Spiderman going to ground zero to help out is viable. Whether we want to face reality or not there are just certain truths that are inevitable - things will never be the same, including our distractions. My two most prominent distractions were cancelled that week - baseball and footbal. Im sure the people at Marvel knew that since we now face situations that once only lived within their realm of fantasy fiction things in the comic world too must change. Ive said it before and Ill say it again - hearing other peoples thoughts on subjects of such magnitude such as our nations tradgedy has always helped me form better thoughts of my own and if Spiderman has something to say then believe me I am all ears.
Much Love
: what do you think about the new concept behind marvel comics incorporating ground zero and the september 11th tradgedies into future issues? one example ive heard was an up coming issue of spider-man in which he is standing at ground zero among the rubble asking what he can do to help. right now, im personally standing without a definate opinion. in one aspect, its great that these characters are going beyond the traditional fighting of unrealistic evil villains who have dreams of world domination. on the other hand, the characters are now facing very realistic evil villains who have dreams of world domination and, in a way, take out the reason i personally buy comics in the first place...for enjoyment that the situations could never happen. just for fun. what do you think?
