The Alt-Hero series by Vox Day and assorted other conservative authors is a push back to the SJW invasion of comics.
In chapter 1, we meet Dominique, a model with super-powers seized from her home and given a choice - join the superpowered team and obey orders - or else give up her freedoms, living under close supervision and with an implanted transponder.
In chapter 2, we see the super heroes rounding up evil dissidents guilty of hate speech. How dare you criticize Muslim migration, the EU is for everyone! Challenge the unelected government bureaucrats! You're a dangerous, divisive person. Off to prison for you, seized by said super-powered individuals. And the Berlin crackdown is only the start - turns out, there's seizing people in the U.S., too. You also learn how the UN is "coercing" people into joining their special forces if they want you and you don't want to join.
In Chapter 3, you meet the core of the super-powered resistance and their recruiting methods. And one young mutant is rescued.
In chapter 4, it willingly sacrifices attractive young recruits to capture telling propaganda photos before sending in Captain Europa, hero of the oppressive UN.
The parallels here to World War 2 are nuanced and deliberate - and true.
All in all, this is an excellent traditional, conservative comic series. I'd rate it 5 stars and PG-13 for mild language, suggestive costumes and moderate violence.

Any guesses on how long it will take Amazon to stop carrying these?
They are available through Barnes and Noble, too.
I just liked finding a comic series I’m fine with my kids reading. And I like it, too.
How did Dominique seize superpowers from her home?
Glad to see they’re past their funding goal.
Sorry. She was seized from her home. Shot at, then knocked out by Captain Europa. Wakes up in restraints that can hold her and told the terms by which she’d be released.
W00T!
Yes, I think that’s the publisher.
