Yeah, but it's okay if you do it in movies. True fact: you can show Nazi symbols in movies and on TV, but not in comics or videogames.

The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn't; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all
We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be.

Well at least I now know what Fear Itself is about.....Fear. Fear is the bad guy. Fear being a previously unknown Norse God which is pretty cool.
The main title has been criticized for not actually having a coherent storyline, most of the action seeming to take place elsewhere and I'd agree. I collect 3 Avengers titles and I don't completely know what's happening.

Mainstream media is apparently unaware that you are supposed to use spoiler tags. Anyways, I support the decision to make the new ultimate spider-man a non-white guy. Once again, the goal is to try to break all resemblances to the Marvel Universe and this helps accomplish that goal. Otherwise he would simply be mistaken as Peter. Still love the fact that Reed Richards is evil.

Mainstream media doesn't understand the concept of spoilers, yes.
Hell, even box art contains spoilers these days.

Who do you think is winning in the all-time Batman vs. Superman showdowns? I could have sworn Batman was ahead but now I don't know. He won in The Dark Knight Returns but Supes won in Red Son. That's 1-1. Did Superman go up against Batman in Kingdom Come? I guess he won that one too.

Batman kicking ass and only taking one name. 4-1!
I guess in Kingdom Come they were on the same side and they didn't throw down when Supes went temporarily insane, so that's a wash.

Supes pretty much kills Bats in the OMAC series.
