To Me, My X-Men
I've been on a comics binge lately, but so far I think my favorite series has been New Super-Man and the Justice League of China, which is an amazing story about a bunch of superheroes who are recruited to be the Chinese version of the Justice League (so there's a Super-Man, a Bat-Man, a Wonder-Woman, and a Flash). On the surface, they're Chinese knock-offs trying to live up to the legacy of the good ol' JL, but as it goes on we learn more and more about each member of the Chinese team, and how they differ from their originators (the Chinese Wonder-Woman, for example, is a figure from Chinese mythology) it really delves into Chinese culture in both its traditional sense and the way modern Chinese view the West and how they imitate it while still keeping hold to their core beliefs. It's really interesting!
