(No Anti-BENDIS!-ness. And people say I have no Christmas spirit...)
WHOSE SIDE ARE *YOU* ON?
I thought I'd answer this question in four different ways, using only what has been revealed by Marvel so far.
Bear in mind, of course, that I have read all that info knowing full well that even if I wasn't going to stop buying comics on December 31st, I still wouldn't be reading this x-over as it seems to scream that it is yet another "ALL SUPER-PEOPLE ARE AMERICAN" story...
As a super-person living in Marvel America:
"Screw you guys. I'm going to go move to Australia and watch you all die the next time Doom attacks."
As a regular person living in Marvel America:
"Screw you guys. I'm going to move to Australia and watch you all die the next time Doom attacks."
As a super-person living outside Marvel America:
"... and the rocket's red glaaaare... what? I'm not American? But I live in the Marvel Universe! I must be! What? My name is Mr. France? But... but... but... they always write me as an American! Oh well. I'm going to move to Australia and watch everyone die the next time Doom attacks."
As a regular person living outside Marvel America:
"Yo, don't be touchin' my ho, dawg! What do you mean, I am the second wealthiest person in Britain and I was educated at the finest finishing schools in Europe? I MUST be an American, they always write me as one. Perhaps I should move to Australia and watch everyone die the next time Doom attacks."
I hate to tell everyone, but NOT the whole world has "reacted to 9/11" but putting soldiers with M-16s at airports. Sorry.
But I am willing to bet money on the fact that the likes of Captain Britain will fight vigorously against a proposed AMERICAN law that simply wouldn't affect him, just because at Marvel, all of the current creators are simply too stupid to understand that the Marvel Universe does NOT = America.
Hell, even aliens will probably get upset...
