Spider-Man India... A fantastic book / comic with an Indian/ Asian twist! about time! As for a little background; here we follow Pravitr Prabhakar, an Indian teen from a village who moved to a new school where he gets bullied. From everyone except the attractive Meera Jain. Instead of being bitten by a spider, Pravitr gets given his powers by a wise old man. Now to avoid spoilers; I will jump straight to the case. Spider-Man India is a brilliant novel with heart, emotions and lessons. The comics (spread across all four novels are very short, depicting one story). My only problem is how short the comics are. I wish they had stuffed all of the comics in one and made that the first issue. And I would've loved to see more developments with Meera Jain, who was last seen kissing Pravitr. And for GOD's sake stop with ads on literally EVERY page! other than that... BRILLIANT! Definitely for the Indians / Asians everywhere. Even people from any race will fall in love with young Pravitr. Deserves a read!

"Look girls, it's the first I.B.C.D. -- Indian Born Confused Desi!"

I don't really know what this means, and I don't care enough to look up an explanation.
