This is hardly something new. There have been Islamic/Arab characters in comics before.
This just smacks of PC PR.

Doubtful. It's just a product made for people who don't feel the same way you do. There's nothing wrong with that, is there? |
There may be, there may NOT be. The timing and the hoopla seem a bit fishy to me. A lot will depend on how it's written I suppose. Will these "good Muslem heroes" be shown cleaning house on Talibans and Al-Qs or will this be a "learning experince" puff job where the "westerners" learn that "everthing they (think) they know about Muslems is wrong"? |
Probably a combination of both.
Which is perhaps the right thing.
The most important thing tho' is that comics starring the heroes I like will be read by a larger world audience. I feel a little depressed at seeing all the manga-love (not that there's anything wrong with it)
in relation to comics-love at the neighborhood B&N.
