I think it's probably just another gimmick to boost flagging sales of comic books. Most kids these days are into other things -my boys have never really read them anyway.

Violence in comic books? The odd "Biff" or "Splat" perhaps is all I can remember...

Tom and Jerry is probably more violent.

If they'd made Captain America gay (since there's a new film due out)-would have been more interesting -would probably have increased their circulation too. Or I am just being cynical old me...
