Thai ''Spider-Man'' Saves the Day

From wire reports
BANGKOK – Frightened on his first day of school on Tuesday, an eight-year-old autistic boy crawled out onto a third floor ledge in Bangkok and refused to come in despite the pleas of his teachers.
When firefighters arrived on the scene, the boy's mother mentioned her son's love of super heroes. This gave firefighter Somchai Yoosabai the idea that would ultimately turn the situation around.
Somchai was able to convince the child to come off the ledge after changing into the Spider-Man costume that he keeps in his locker to wear during school fire drills. The boy immediately stood up and walked into the arms of Spider-Man, his trusted hero.

This guy is a hero !!!
You guys should definitely invite him in NY and thank him officially for what he did using your character!!!
It would be an occasion to do a, i don't know, "asian week" during which you could talk about the way comics are considered there (compared to mangas), the several works you have done until now to export your characters there or just to use their particular style here, the asian artists that work(ed) for you, etc...
This could exist within an international month (after Asia, Africa, Europe, South America) and would be embellished by the release of several TPB on this theme (i'm sure it's not too hard to find).
Since this idea would come from this heroic action, would be good to keep being heroic and a procent of each TPB would be given to the Hero Initiative!
