Comic books are vile today. They preach liberal debauchery to kids. If I had children I wouldn’t let them anywhere near them.

I’ve always maintained that be it movies, books, comics, television, music...if you’re using swearing, nudity and tons of gore, 99% of the time it is not because the “art” requires it, it is because the creators ain’t all that creative.
I left most new comics not long after Joe Quesada arrived at Marvel. He managed to suck the fun and wonder out and replace it with perversion, depression and overt liberalism. Thankfully I’ve got tons of old stuff from the 60s, 70s & 80s where adult themes and concepts could be explored while simultaneously providing decent entertainment for youngsters. Talented people can pull that off. He’s not one of them.

Geez, and I wonder why I don’t collect comics anymore.

That really breaks my heart that comic books are resorting to profanity.
Comic books were a big part of my childhood back in the 50's...we didn't have video games, or very much television past Roy Rogers and Howdy Doody...so comic books were a fantasy world escape for us.
It was mostly "Superman", "Superboy", "Action Comics", and "Batman"...but they were only a dime and I would read them over and over until the covers fell off.
I credit my lifelong reading ability and interest in words to comics...I learned a lot of words from them, and when I saw a new word, I was interested enough to look it up in the dictionary.
In our neighborhood we had big "comic book swaps", everyone would bring a double armload of old comics and trade for ones they had not yet read. In some cases, you could trade a good one for something valuable...like a pocket knife.
I can understand that the comic book folks are probably struggling these days with internets, video games, and television to compete with, but, all things have their time to shine and time to leave. If you have to resort to writing dirty words on the blackboard to get attention, you weren't very interesting in the first place.

Comics are just catching up to hip-hop and rap, which your kids are downloading as we type.

I never liked Marvel Comics. I was always a DC Comics fan. “Sgt. Rock’’ and “Our Army at War/ The Haunted Tank’’ were my favorites.

That’s nothing. 10 years ago saying “what the fuck” would be considered totally obscene and out of place on a conservative forum.
But today you can find “WTF” all over free republic in the conversations, articles, and even titles
