    I'm glad I grew up in another era...
    The comic book folks have announced that Superman will no longer fight for "truth, justice, and the American way." In fact, he will sometimes fight against America. It's worse for Spiderman. They will kill off Peter Parker and replace him with a new Spiderman who is half black; half Latino; and gay.

    :idea:
    This is already a done deal. Peter Parker was killed off in Marvel Comics Ultimate series and he's been replaced by Miles Morales:

    Aha! Political agendas expressed through comic book characters. For a minute there, you had me worried.

    Peter Parker is still alive in the original series that will still be on sale.

    At least for awhile.
