Spider-Man in India

Posted by michael on from the spidey-sense-is-tingling dept.

Lord Omlette writes "I'm really surprised no one else has mentioned this, but Spider-Man is getting redone in India! As an Indian-American, I'm quite excited. (Let's get it out of the way: even our comic book heroes are being outsourced, wtf!) The manga version of Star Wars was pretty good, but off the top of my head I can't think of any other comic books that were redone for a completely different culture. Anyone?"

    I thought that issue where Mary Jane was raped by that tentacle creature was particularly disturbing.

    They want to capitilize on the name recognition of Spider Man while at the same time making a superhero that more Indians can relate to culturally.

    So in their version, Spider-Man and Mary Jane are going to almost kiss each other and then spin away from each other and spend the next twenty minutes singing and dancing?
