Re: Overreacting? As usual

This alone is reason enough:

Quote:

....showed a hero crediting his defeat of an opponent with the power he gained from smoking cigarettes.

and this is questionable:

Quote:

a female character who asks readers to pick up the next issue to see which "hot guy" would be the next to die.

...especially when it's being published by Scholastic:erm:

Was the comic marked as "mature readers only"?
I know the article mentions elementary and middle school kids, but that was actually in reference to the cartoons and cards, not this comic (just your usual media spin)
