Spider-Man India<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Spider-Man India interweaves the local customs, culture and mystery of modern India, with an eye to making Spider-Man\u2019s mythology more relevant to this particular audience. Readers of this series will not see the familiar Peter Parker of Queens under the classic Spider-Man mask, but rather a new hero \u2013 a young, Indian boy named Pavitr Prabhakar. As Spider-Man, Pavitr leaps around rickshaws and scooters in Indian streets, while swinging from monuments such as the Gateway of India and the Taj Mahal.
\nMumbai\u2019s (Bombay\u2019s) first web-swinging superhero will be joined by a reinterpretation of the classic Spider-Man villain, the Green Goblin — reinvented as a Rakshasa, an Indian mythological demon.<\/p>\n

Could be interesting. Or could be really lame. I’ll be curious to see whether it’s offered here in the US, too.<\/p>\n
