Marvel Comics has once again taken aim at Donald Trump, this time by making him the arch-villain in a new issue of Spiderman spinoff series Spider-Gwen.
In Spider-Gwen Annual #1 — which centers on an alternate universe in which Peter Parker’s girlfriend, Gwen Stacey, was the one bitten by a radioactive spider — the villainous Modok bears more than a striking resemblance to the presumptive GOP presidential nominee.
In the new comic, Modok is now M.O.D.A.A.K. (Mental Organism Designed as America’s King), a giant-headed villain who plans to rule the world.
“If America will not act… M.O.D.A.A.K. must!” the character exclaims in one panel.
“Must make America…” the character begins to say after being struck in the head by an object.
The issue hails from Marvel Comics’ Jason Latour, Jim Campbell and Chris Visions and was released this week.
This is not the first time that an issue of a Marvel comic book has made Trump out to be a villain.
In Issue No. 1 of Steve Rogers: Captain America, released in May, the nefarious Nazi Red Skull delivers a hardline anti-immigration speech before calling for a race war on behalf of the evil organization Hydra.
“I have just come from Europe–my homeland, in fact,” Red Skull tells a group of his followers. “And do you know what I saw there? It was an invading army. These so-called “refugees” – millions of them – marching across the continent, bringing their fanatical beliefs and their crime with them. They bomb our cities. And how do our leaders respond? Do they push them back and enforce the borders, as is our sovereign duty? Of course not.
As Breitbart’s Warner Todd Huston previously reported, that issue of Captain America sought to equate criticism of the Syrian refugee problem with Nazism.

The point is, i'm fed up with liberals thinking they can attempt to manipulate elections without having to declare it as an "in kind" contribution to a political campaign.
The are producing free advertising for their preferred candidate, and it equates to giving their candidate some quantity of money which would be represented by the value of that advertising.
We need to pound liberals who misuse media assets they own to give their candidates an unfair advantage in elections. This behavior needs to be recognized for what it is, which is an attempt to manipulate elections.
Yeah, comic books today are so blatantly liberally slanted, and so adult-oriented it’s not even funny. I just find superhero characters better on TV, movies, or netflix at this point, and that’s only mostly because they are portraying characters I used to know in the movies. Even as an adult though, I wouldn’t mind buying the large volume of reprinted old classic comics and sharing them with the family.
