    And then, in 2010, Marvel Comics presented a Spider-Man (the ‘Ultimate’ version) who was 13 years old and brown. To see Spider-Man pulling his mask over a tiny brown chin – to see a boy with short curly hair sticking to the ceiling of his bedroom— well, something happened. Dagim has been Spider-Man for two Halloweens in a row. He takes a bath with his Spider-Man and a toy killer whale. He has Spider-Man toothpaste and a Spider-Man toothbrush. If Spider-Man offered medical coverage, I think he would want that, too.

    I thought for a while that my son would never be interested in my comics. I was afraid they would just represent another club he couldn’t join: all those big-jawed white guys with their hair parted to the side. But thanks to Spider-Man, my son imagines himself jumping on giant robots and saving the city. I hear him doing that behind the door of his room.

    Would really like to start reading DC again, but I just can not get interested in this post-Flashpoint universe.

    Reading Justice League and I’m actually loving it.

    So I met Mr. Tomasi and Mr. Gleason yesterday at C2E2! Let me just say, they were literally the nicest people in Artist Alley.

    I had mentioned Damian was my favorite, and then when he signed, he wrote this…and I started crying. This is literally the most beautiful thing I think I will ever receive from a con. It’s just so inspiring and hopeful. They’re both amazing guys and when I went over to talk to Gleason afterwards, Tomasi said, “Don’t make him cry, too!”.

    It was just a really moving moment and I really, really appreciated it and thought I’d share it with you guys.
