"It never occurred to me when I was growing up that while I had Batman, Superman, Spider-man, and Captain America, the other kids I played with that were not “white” had at best one choice and at worst none. Comics are not just for white American males. Women read them, people in other countries read them, and people of all races read them. Comics should reflect that, and when they do they shouldn’t play into the stereotypes."

This is Real, folks. This is a project with heart. There's passion. There's the desire to see success. We're going to kick down the doors of the industry, and kick them hard. This project is more than providing diversity and multiculturalism in comics. Its also about you, the fans; the ones who have kept a thread in pop culture thriving for over 70 years. Its about respecting you and the characters you love. Its about giving you quality versus quantity. Its about providing Real stories about heroes being heroes---not diplomats, congressmen, or spokespeople.

We have 4 days left and need $500 more to fund the project, but we need your help. We need you to take Acropolis and spread its message and purpose across the Internet. Facebook, Twitter, deviantArt, YouTube, Myspace (do people still use it?), LinkedIn, podcasts, blogs---we need to go viral! And if we surpass our goal, we will be able to do a heck of a lot more. This is just the beginning of a revival. This is your project just as much as is ours. We want you to feel included. We want you to feel like you have a voice.

Folks, things are about to get Real.
