@@resistancepublishing you said to just escape with comics when you kinda can’t bc they’re inherently political and have been since their creation hence why I get what you’re saying but I physically can never
As a Superman fan, I’m not big on John Ridley writing the new Action Comics issue, considering his weird internalized racism thing (for context beyond how he writes black superheroes and their relationships, there’s an article archived by the Jim Crow Museum that explains it better than I could; I can’t comment the title, but be warned that he uses a certain word to describe other black people derogatorily a lot), so I hope he’s not gonna be a regular on it. Also, despite being a Superman fan, I kind of wish a lesser-known another character got the “Summer of” treatment to up their profile a bit. I haven’t read the new Shadow Cabinet yet because I didn’t even know they were making a comeback, but that’s really cool to know. Given one of the members in the old comic was one of the only Palestinian superheroes, ever (only other one I can think of was the second Doctor in The Authority, who Mark Millar wrote to be a former suicide bomber, so, uh, yeah), I hope she’s in it (I’ll have to read it to see). The world could use a Palestinian superhero right about now. Speaking of The Authority, I can’t stand how King writes Jenny Sparks. It’s like he heard she was from a Mature Readers book and just assumed she swore every other word, so he just wrote her as an angry British person who curses Britishly. It’d be borderline unreadable even if he weren’t involved in planning the invasion of Iraq. Not to mention how little sense it makes for 9/11 to wake her up, seeing as she’s not American and lived through significantly worse tragedies in her past lives. So she was dead all of one year? What happened to Jenny Quantum, then? Any excuse for Tom to write the only thing he knows.

I love the FF posters
New gods, old gods. Don’t overthink it. It’s comics. Just escape and have fun.
@@resistancepublishing well no comics are inherently political but I get the sentiment
@ what does politics have to do with my statement? Don’t get it

@ there’s actually tons of comics that has nothing political in it that when you read them you get pulled into the story and can enjoy them.
@ no there isn’t lol
