Though, I normally come off as a cynical asshole, a story on the local news caught my eye last night about a boy with a rare form of leukemia who’s family are telling him that Spider-Man will help him fight it.

The family is hitting financial troubles in paying for the treatment.

(EDITORS NOTE: Basically, Austin (pictured here) has luekemia and the chemotherapy is brutal.  In order to give him the mental strength to deal with it, his dad came up with a way to Roleplay with his son with Spider-man.  So, basically in this kids mind, Spider-man literally came to his rescue and helped him kill the monsters of his luekemia.)
