"Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin fights zombie opposition in a new comic book.
Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin speeds to rescue passengers on a bomb-rigged bus along with President Dmitry Medvedev in a new comic strip that has recently become an internet sensation in Russia.
The comic, Superputin, A Man Like Any Other, is set in Moscow, in 2012 - one year before the end of the world with a plot based on the US action film Speed. The comic has been designed to change people s views of what is called Russia s depressing political scene. There are some, however, who see the comic strip as a public-relations stunt, casting Putin and Medvedev as heroic leaders, fighting Russia s zombie opposition.
The release of the online graphic story comes in the run up to Russia s presidential elections which will be held in March 2012. Neither Putin nor Medvedev has said if they will run for president, creating wide speculation about the ruling tandem s plans."
