I had no idea these comics had gone so far left.
Back in the 90s, a comic would be on the cancellation block for sales below 100,000 copies. Today, if one hits 100,000 copies it ranks at the top of the direct market sales chart! Could it be the dark, depressing, overly sexualized and often twisted 'world' they have devolved to, especially at Marvel?
When I grew up reading comics in the 70s, there was such a sense of wonder mixed in with adult themes. Take Spider-Man for example: his life sucked, he couldn't pay his bills and people were always trying to kill him. Yet his attitude was always a very American one: he got knocked down, got up, carried on and helped others along the way, cracking a joke now and then. Most of Marvel was like that. There weren't always happy endings, but the overall tone was one of moving forward with hope, not wallowing in misery and political correctness.
Thank God for back issues.
