Obama, Comics and the presidency

[AllisterH]

I'm not sure this belong in either of the big two political threads because, quite frankly, comics aren't REAL :biggrin:


Anyway, given that most writers are left of center and the generally positive "change" that Obama seems to give democratic supporters, do you think we'll actually see a change in how government/the president is treated in comics?

Considering how he's not yet President, I don't see that possible. ;)

[NickThompson]

No, because the President always being in the right cuts off a lot of stories :)

Depends on the "decisions"

dumbest idea ever....

[Major Comma]

I wont even read Decisions.

Seriously, when I heard about decisions, the first thing that went through my mind was

WTF!

"DC: Decisions" is an upcoming mini about the political spectrum of DC's characters.

This shit has backlash written all over it.

[Ben Morgan]

That would explain it

I think it's the absolute dumbest idea since bringing Jean Grey back from the dead.

Comics, stop having sinister government agencies? Next you'll be asking for them to have heroes who make sure they don't destroy people's stuff in fights! (The Thing/Torch fight in Waid's second FF issue proves on its own that Iron Man was right...)
