every time I find a comic I like I then see something like this that reminds me that the superhero genre is the most fascist genre in the history of fiction.
Superman was originally a Roosevelt progressive. He tore down tenements and put in fancy new project housing to fix poverty. Wave of the future!

Yeah, the furthest left you get out of comics are usually ones that are like “Is it okay for a superhero to kill people to make the world better?” and the writer being like “Yes, but it still makes them bad compared to the ones that don’t”
