“I don’t want politics in my comics,” is a stance I will never understand.
Superhero comics have ALWAYS been political.
Captain America was the creation of two Jewish men, and they had him beat the shit out of Hitler.
The rash of killings of Civil Rights leaders in the 60’s and 70’s (particularly MLK) led to Luke Cage, a black man with unbreakable skin, being created.
The X-Men have ALWAYS reflected the current political times, whether it was the origins in the beginning of the Civil Rights Era, to the reflection of LGBTQA rights during the AIDS crisis with the Legacy Virus.
Superheros have always been political. There were no “good old days before teh EssJays ruined it with politics,” because politics have always gone with comics.
Batman refuses to use guns because that’s how his parents died?
Superman is a literal alien refugee accepted by a small town Kansas family.
