Now, this is how it's done!

Komen might need the help of Earth's Mightiest Heroes after that kerfuffle w/Planned Parenthood. Sent to you by tony via Google Reader: Marvel Teams Up with Susan G. Komen For The Cure via Comic Booked by Zach Story on 6/26/12 This Fall, Marvel Entertainment and Susan G. Komen for the Cure will be teaming up to take on a real world villain: breast cancer. Marvel heroes  Captain America , X-23 , Thor and others will be looking a little pink on special variant covers this October. On top of variant covers there will be a one page advertisement providing information on breast cancer. Both Marvel and Susan G. Komen for the Cure are excited about this opportunity to increase awareness to the broad audience that Marvel reaches.

And the reason I'm in to these particular shows is one word: pluck. Both main characters, Naruto and Edward Elric (Naruto: Shippuden! and Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, respectively) are literally and figuratively the shortest dogs in the fight; two very powerful human beings who through sheer will and sticktoitiveness increased their abilities exponentially! They never stop, they never quit! Sure, there are many real life artist, writers, athletes, scholars, etc. who also have pluck, but there's something about these two characters that speak to me more than there real life counterparts.
