Liberality For All


This is pretty ridiculous. I read comics; I like them. This one suggests a future taken over by Liberals. In 2021—The army joins up with the UN Peace-Keeping Forces, the president is Hillary Clinton (with Vice President Michael Moore), there are anti-hate "Coulter" laws, Osama Bin Laden is a UN Ambassador and G. Gordan Liddy and a cyborg Sean Hannity fight against the apparent oppression. This is not left-leaning satire. It's a poorly drawn response to what the author believes is liberal bias in comics. Here's what I have to say—comics have always made it their business to expose social inequalities. I read the issue of Green Lantern/Green Arrow where GA finds out his ward Speedy (irony?) is addicted to heroin. It was hilariousus and pretty much made people realize that the Comics Code no longer mattered. This has some interesting ideas, but it's not even funny because it's pretty poorly done. Another thing, in the letters page on the back, someone complains about Superman: Red Son. This guy is just mislead and obviously has not read the book. Sorry to ruin it for anyone, but in the end, Lex Luthor makes America so great that it takes over the world and it becomes a utopia. I mean, seriously. The book is about a communist Superman, but he turns into a dictator. It is good though. In conclusion, Dude wants Superman blacklisted, and that just ain't right.
