Please tell me that I wasn't the only one who knew 100% that this was coming.

Yeah, that's not hidden when you hover over the thread. I read the story like 30 minutes ago, so I don't care, but just warning you before people flip out on you.

Wait, no. Now it's hidden.

I dropped my favorite book when I cut all the needless $3.99 titles months ago so I am just curious where this character comes from.

I double checked and everything!

So you'd rather pay $2.99 for a book you don't enjoy as much than $3.99 for a book you do enjoy?

I don't get it.

Yes!

Black Spider-Man!

I got what I wanted. New character.

This is retarded. Not just racist... but retarded. To be more specific, promoting a new Ultimate Spider-Man solely on the basis of skin color isn't progressive. It's modern blacksploitation for guilty white liberals. If Nick Fury was the new Spider-Man I'd have been excited, and you could claim that it's progressive in the sense that the character's skin color is irrelevant. Even ultimate Ben Reilly. But to create a new, black Spider-man for the sake of having a black spider-man, promoting it on that basis is idiotic beyond words. The "creative" choice and publicity is entirely race-driven.

Martin Luther King once dreamed of a day where people judged him solely by the content of his character, where race would be irrelevant; not a promotional tool in selling comics to children.
