The Avengers are a bit of a hot property right now. There’s their new feud with the X-Men, and then there’s the new Marvel Universe programming block on Disney XD. Of course, there’s also the Avengers movie. But one of the more oddball uses of the Avengers franchise is “Saving The Day”, which is a FREE comic book sponsored by VISA that aims to teach children basic and practical money skills.
The comic book also features Spider-man, and together with Avengers members Iron Man, Giant Man, Black Widow, Hulk, and Thor, they serve as the perfect vehicle to teach the usually boring (for kids, at least) subject of financial literacy. Kids are more receptive of lessons when taught by role models that are entertaining and colorful, it seems.
