Although using the Soviet Union as a background, the storyline is actually a sly comment on contemporary world politics, where the United States dominates the globe like an unchecked giant.

Sly if you’re an idiot.

To buy into the analogy, you have to suspend all moral values and imagine a world where a constitutional republic, where people live in relative freedom is analogous to a brutal socialist hellhole which murders 20 million of its own citizens and denies all essential liberties to those that survive the purges.

Of course, somebody that dumb probably spends their time reading comic books instead of learning history.

I agreed with you until you bashed reading comics. :)

Some of the old comic books were kind of dopey in 60's & 70's, i'll give you that. But the comic books of today are a very sophisticated make you think type of reading, now if you haven't read any since the 70's I can understand your statement. But like I said the comics of today are a whole different animal, quite frankly the "What If's & Elseworlds" are all about putting your thinking cap & imagination together and enjoying a good story.
