We've seen Jedi Knights wipe out hoardes of advancing Battle Droids, clash sabers with ruthless Sith Warriors, and track down deadly bounty hunters across the galaxy. All in a day's work for them. But every once in a while they are eager to perform slightly less dangerous peace-keeping tasks...such as preventing theft from a local comic book shop.

As per the article posted on News.com.au:

"It sounds like a crazy comic book splot: Spider-man foils a robbery as Jedi knights block the would-be thief's escape and the Flash watches on.

This was just what happened on Saturday morning when a business owner dressed as Spider-man stopped a man from stealing a comic book worth $160.

Adelaide Comic Centre's Michael Baulderstone, 45, noticed a man "behaving suspiciously" at the back of his store.

Upon closer examination, he saw that the man had put a valuable book in his backpack.

"We had about 40 people dressed up as their favourite superheroes to celebrate International Free Comic Day, so he didn't have much of a choice but to hand the X-Men Omnibus back after a little bit of a scuffle," he said."

Jedi Knights and Superheroes combining forces to stop the evil deeds of others? Sounds like one heck of a crime-fighting team to me!
