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?"

    Top 10 world cities with most skyscrapers (skyscraper == habitable buildings of over 500ft/152m):

    Cityname followed by number of skyscrapers

    1 NYC 131
    2 Chicago 47
    3 Houston 27
    4 Los Angeles 21
    5 Hong Kong 20
    6 Dallas 17

    8 San Francisco 15
    9 Boston 14
    10 Atlanta 13
    10 Singapore 13

    Spiderman would be a little subpar anyway outside of New York.
