I think both Marvel and DC—now increasingly wary of their bottom lines in terms of profit—may have to seriously look at no longer supporting an unpopular President, because that attitude is seriously hurting comic book sales. They don’t want a repeat of the 1990’s when comic book sales plunged and caused serious losses at both DC and Marvel.
A couple of years ago, I was disappointed to read how lefty-trendy (and sometimes openly homosexual) comic book artists were gloating among themselves at their having liberalized their strips and books to the point that they were becoming actual propaganda organs. I see now my pessimism was ill-founded.
I wonder how many of their remaining readership are diehard comic-book fans who are following their favorite characters while grinding molars together at the creators' political preachiness and bias? IOW, how much more of Dell's, etc., circulation is still at immediate risk because of their liberal/gay prating?
Second point: Popular culture, precisely because it comes from the People, is inherently Jeffersonian and therefore (in today's terms) conservative. For Marxianized artists to try to "get over" on the public is a fool's errand, in this reading, since they are trying to use their position as privileged talent in politicized enterprises to preach to the People and tell them things the People know aren't true.
Third point: Perhaps the cultural Marxists thought they could "corner" the public by monopolizing the medium, and bring them around by main force of eliminating alternative views. It seems instead that readers are willing to sacrifice a favorite pastime and reject the medium entire in order to escape the political hectoring.
This story needs to go wide.
