We could do without this cliffhanger, really

The Syracuse Post-Standard does its bad bit to sensationalize and certainly to sugarcoat the news about Civil War, here being about Spider-Man:
Boy, Peter Parker (aka: Spider-Man ... but you knew that) just can't catch a break. First, just as he gets a little respect and security by joining up with the Avengers, he gets himself in a heap of trouble by becoming the poster boy for the government's Superhero Registration Act. As such, he's talked into revealing his secret identity to the public at a special pro-registration press conference. "Amazing Spider-Man No. 537," Marvel Comics; $2.99. Needless to say, this grand gesture, designed to inspire the undecided to come and join the team, results in Peter's personal life to be thrown into chaos. Forget about his day job as a high school teacher. No parent wants their child to attend a class where a vengeance-seeking super villain might break in and audit at any time. As for his Aunt May and his wife, M.J.? Let's just say that they're extremely cautious about opening the door to their home nowadays.

Still and all, it was for the greater good, right?
The answer to that is NO.

About me

  • I'm Avi Green
  • From Jerusalem, Israel
  • I was born in Pennsylvania in 1974, and moved to Israel in 1983. I also enjoyed reading a lot of comics when I was young, the first being Fantastic Four. I maintain a strong belief in the public's right to knowledge and accuracy in facts. I like to think of myself as a conservative-style version of Clark Kent. I don't expect to be perfect at the job, but I do my best.
