He has fought against foes ranging from the Green Goblin to Doctor Octopus, but Spider-Man now faces an even more formidable challenge: improving the battered image of the United Nations.

In a move reminiscent of storylines developed during the second world war, the UN is joining forces with Marvel Comics, creators of Spider-Man and the Incredible Hulk, to create a comic book showing the international body working with superheroes to solve bloody conflicts and rid the world of disease.

The UN as comic heroes? More like criminals in this comic Book called "Liberality For All"

at: www.accstudios.com/f/comicpreview_page_9.htm

The UN is anti-Amercian anti-semtic disgrace.

Hey Marvel Comics want to do an accurate UN comic have Spiderman / X-men and friends brake up UN Sex crimes against children in the Congo

OR in Haiti
OR in Liberia
Or in the Sudan

OR
They could force the UN to confront Genocide in Darfur

OR
Bust those UN criminals responsible for Oil-For-Food Program scandal.

Yeah, there is a hell of a Marvel comic to be written here, but with the UN in their proper place as criminals, not heroes

Until then Read a more accurate description of the UN at www.LiberalityForAll.com

The UN is a great organization except for the corruption and incompetance. Letting tyrants and religious fanatics run UN committees looks a little bad too. Aside from that the UN does great work except for when it's peacekeepers are raping little girls in Africa.

The UN is comical. I'd like to admire them from afar though. They need to be put out of the USA.

Ah, the trailer park of comics. Watch out UN, if you don't turn a profit for them, they'll kill you off, revamp you, give you tacky polyester costumes, and bring you back holding giant guns and swords.

Cause and effect, there, if they improve their
public accountability and book keeping, their
image will improve as a result, no shortcuts
there...

Oh no, its the evil UN invasion of the body snatchers! The evil Un will use these comics to invade the minds of our children and change them for becoming ruthless US capitalist, into pansies wanting to do good things for other human beings, maybe even supportive of health care for all humans and good affordable education, all without ever a worry of self profit or self power! The horror of it all. Who can save us from this horrible organization known as the UN that is trying to disrupt the authoritarian US styled capitalistic government that is strongly supported by the top 2% consisting of the the wealthiest in the country.
What ever shall 2% of Americans do to save the other 98% of Americans who dont have the intelligence to see how evil and horrible the UN is. It is truly up to the richest people in America to tell us what is best for us. After all, they have a lot of money, they must know more than the rest of us.
Whatever shall we do.

George Bush effectively pissed on the UN and attacked Iraq. We don't need another comic book. US politics reads like the funnies.

the UN killed Captain America and replaced him with Iron Man military-industrial complex industrialist Tony Stark?
