The NEW Spiderman is gay.........
hey surely someone has a superhero in his pen or trackball which does justice to “old fashioned” causes. what’s a disaster for liberals (and it might be the influence of the publishers as much as or more than that of the artists) might be a gold mine for someone else.
DC Comics went on the hippie bandwagon long ago. It certainly drove me away then. (I was never really a Marvel guy, for some reason.)
It’s not just comic books, but movies, everything. Hell, look what’s happened to Ann Coulter.
I can’t read anything by DC because they’ve become a bunch of preachy left wing goofballs.
Most everything by Marvel sucks too except the recent Punisher series.
Interestingly, there’s a ton of good stuff being released by small comic publishers and a lot of manga is pretty good.
I never cared for superhero comics. In my youth I preferred Roy Rogers or Gene Autry and THE CISCO KID.
In my teens I collected the CLASSICS ILLUSTRATED comics and some THRILLER or good Sifi along with COMBAT comics.
It’s been 55 years since I read a comic book.
I’d be interested in seeing anything new from Frank Miller, who has become quite conservative since 9/11, especially recently.
The DUmmies have been seriesly hating on him due to some of the posts on his blog recently.

Couldn’t agree more with over 20000 books they have pretty much forced me into only buying older books - though I’m sorely tempted by some of the artistry in the new books it just cannot overcome the political swing and dead story lines - there was a time when green arrow and others were the libs that took on the remaining crew (70s) in DC and seemed to be more balanced but that time is long past. Now the story lines are all about grandiose large scale epics with minimal character development or plotlines. So I seek out the holes in my collection instead. Sigh...
A complete 180 degree turn from the glory days when Stan Lee was writing every Marvel title in the sixties: Half the villains were Communists (Crimson Dynamo, the Red Ghost, etc.). Those days (and their enormous sales) are long gone.
I used to love the Avengers when I was a kid. Thor and the Scarlet Witch were my favorites. Now she is insane and he comes off like a pansy. Wouldn’t waste my cash on any of the new comics.

That would be a sufficient explanation for most people over about 15 years of age.
The only comic books we ever had were “Classics llustrated”.
Is illiteracy that widespread? Has the intrusion of the perverts into mainstream society affected also "comic books?" I keep reading rumors that that is the case.
I stopped reading comic books when I was about 11 years old. At the time, I probably would have thought a conservative was a sweet topping made from fruit for a biscuit or a slice of toast.
They’ve been putting snarky liberal crap for 30 years at least. I remember the final straw back in 1991 for me when characters in Batman commented on the 10,000 Americans killed in the Oil War, during the first Golf War.
This was while it was still going on and I just quit right then. Cancelled all my orders for future comics and sold off my collection during the next 3 years and haven’t really read one since.
Libs slip the propaganda in everywhere. I was watching some doc about Area 51 on NatGeo tonight, and naturally the narrator talked about “cold war paranoia” as if the Russians posed no threat whatsoever. You’ll find lib propaganda in virtually every phase of American culture. I haven’t read comics for almost fifty years, so personally, it’s no big loss. But kids reading them now are probably getting a good dose of leftist slop slipped in whenever possible.
I suggest you stop buying the rope they are using to hang you.
