Does Marvel Comics have (m)any characters who share their Christian faith within the pages of the comics these days?

Here was how Marvel Comics-Disney took to portraying the Tea Party movement a few years back.

It reminds me of the late ‘60s film Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner.

Everything about race relations in the United States reminds liberals of Guess Who's Coming to Dinner, and has for the last forty years.

Did Marvel miss the part about no imagery depicting living beings in Mohammedanism?

"Rightwing media outlets and political opinion-formers have sometimes played a delirious role in promoting—and giving platforms—to ex-Muslims who not only hate their former religion, but advocate a “war on Islam” as if it's a singular entity and as if a war on a religion is feasible or winnable."

Funny how leftwing media outlets and others continue to deny that the war was declared on the rest of us by Mohammadans. Pretending it doesn't exist won't make it go away.

During the last decade ... the media has sometimes ... someone said after 9/11 ... rightwing media outlets and political opinion-formers have sometimes ...

So many weasel words packed into but a single paragraph!

If moslems don’t wish for themselves to be portrayed by negative stereotypes then perhaps they should stop reinforcing our perceptions of them by constantly living a life of negative stereotypes. Same goes for Trayvon types. Stereotypes exist for a reason.

Yes. Disney-Marvel can go sink in a swamp. Bill Clinton’s pal (who helped bribe Monica Lewinsky) almost tanked the entire comic book industry (by swallowing up a major distributor and strong arming stores into buying all Marvel inventory for maximum discount and promotions).

I though about buying their stock (because of the valuable assets) when they were around 12 cents a share but I figured that if they did go bankrupt, the shareholders would get screwed while the million dollar trademark characters were passed off to a friendly interest.

And my understanding is that even Stanly Lieber Lee got associated with Ms. Hillary Clinton’s corruptions in the late 1990s and may have even had to provide testimony.
