>>16146 You seriously don't know about EC Comics? They were arguably the most influential comics publisher of the 20th century. As cliched as it sounds, there was a time when American comics weren't all about superheros. Crime and horror fiction were all the rage in the 1940s and 1950s, and had come to be widely known for the mature content. This was cause for concern among a certain segment of the population, which in turn led to the creation of the Comics Code Authority, whose subsequent censorship sunk the market for that kind of stuff into the underground by the 1960s and 1970s (later to be picked up by artists associated with Zap Comix, for sample). EC Comics' co-editor Bill Gaines' 1954 testimony would be famous for those concerned with the rights of comics artists, especially since the establishment of the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund in 1986. The scans themselves are of a massive, $200 tome history published by TASCHEN just last year:

Most of it relies on telling you that the people are powerful rather than showing it. It’s a lasting problem that continues to exist ever since the first Iron man movie.
For instance, the MCU Wakanda is said to be an extremely technologically powerful country, yet their army comprises of an invisible plane that has to decloak to do anything, a bunch of techno barbarians on rhinos and a few elite guards. Or Thanos “army”, which is just a bunch of bumbling retards that can be easily mowed down with normal assault rifles. Most of the universal threats in the MCU can be dismantled by any country with a competent military in a single weekend.

>>17905 Probably the flash of two worlds being one of the first incarnation of comic multiverses. Probably started from DC’s corporate deciding that they want their cake and eat it too by taking a double dip in making two different characters with the same name.
Most comic writers can’t write multiverse for shit. It’s either extremely lazy crap or mega-autism with rigid rules.
>>17923 Agreed. The autism over it was stupid and led to a misuse of multiverse and parallel worlds into not a tool to tell interesting perspectives on the same character archetype but just pure over-indulgence in excess.
Hickman and Snyder are notorious for this. The former is notable to push his gay agenda against hope just to be dark for edginess’ sake and his obsession with graphs.
The latter on the other just want to wank Batman by recycling ideas.
>>17922 A Moebius story about how a US officer refusing to nuke the USSR in retaliation was executed for treason. Pretty cool and based.

>>17901 Kind of, they're vigilantes who are mostly tools for cops and government, but sometimes go against them. GL corps are literally a space police force.
I wish there could be an actually based story about Kilowog the GL's politics, he comes from a communist world, but the closest we got is some lib bullshit where he starts working with the USSR and then denounces them as too authoritarian.

>>17926 Hey blame the game not the player. The CCA killed non-capeshit comics in its entirety and it’s still recovering from it.
>>17955 Morrison addressed this aspect the best.
>"I got interested in the class element of Batman: He’s a rich man who beats up poor people. It’s quite a bizarre mission to go out at night dressed as a bat and punch the hell out of junkies. And then he goes home and lives in this mansion. There’s an aspirational quality to him—he’s an outlaw and he can buy anything. He has a new Batmobile every movie. He’s very plutonian in the sense that he’s wealthy and also in the sense that he’s sexually deviant. Gayness is built into Batman. I’m not using gay in the pejorative sense, but Batman is very, very gay. There’s just no denying it. Obviously as a fictional character he’s intended to be heterosexual, but the basis of the whole concept is utterly gay.I think that’s why people like it. All these women fancy him and they all wear fetish clothes and jump around rooftops to get to him. He doesn’t care—he’s more interested in hanging out with the old guy and the kid.” http://www.playboy.com/playground/entertainment/culture/the-super-psyche His entire run on Batman is in essence a way to avoid the inherent class aspects of a vigilante that is the views that not systematic solutions but individual actions can cure societal ills. He made it explicit that his Batman is too big to take on normal crime so that the fantastic can be explored.

>>17970 I don't want to sound pedantic but the CCA didn't kill non cape comics, non capes survived up until the early 70's
What killed non cape comics was the paperback novel, which also killed pulp/fiction magazines.
Paperbacks where very cheap for the amount of entertainment they offered and comics and magazines just could not compete. Cape comics survived because capes where a genre exclusive to comic books and so got no competition from paperbacks.

>>17978 Yeah in the comics they’re essentially Mautists. Crumb was explicitly hard on Maoism and China at the time as well as the western supporters of the ideology. Dude made an entire strip on trashing Mao’s comment on nukes being a paper tiger. In the strips, one of the cell member was a glowie from the start, something that he got from seeing some real Maoist orgs in San Francisco.Crumb ridicules his revolutionaries but more because they’re ineffective not because they’re extreme or evil like Bakshi.
The schism between Bakshi and Crumb in the adaptation of Fritz really mirrored the latter adaptation of watchmen by Snyder. Crumb basically had no say in the film with his signature on the contract wasn’t even confirmed to be his.
The film was a bastardized version of the three comics that not only got molded by Bakshi’s liberal mentality but also his love for extravagant violence and sex. Kinda like how Snyder made the scenes that was supposed to show silk spectre I in a vulnerable position into just another way of romanticizing rape. The fact that Fritz also became a projection for Bakshi’s extremely contradictory liberal beliefs is even worse, he saw Fritz as a fraud because deep down he interpreted his own shallow leftism as a fraud in of itself.
Dude nearly pissed himself when Crumb got Rodriguez and Wilson into the screening of Fritz.

>>18205 Not something outside of Millar’s writing mind you. The dude genuinely believes in world policing even though the people who do it being a bunch of self righteous fascists. In his Authority run he had the group straight up invade Tibet and take it from China.
The only few comics that do this trope in a coherent way are books like Miracle Man where the “heroes” took over, overthrew capitalism, nation states and then rule over as gods. The other one of my personal guilty pleasure is No Hero, in which the world is so sick of the superpowered vigilantes that they joined forces to murder them all. Since these bastards had been in the world since the 70s most of their changes were horrific.

No Hero is terrible, but I'm definitely also in that guilty pleasure camp. I think it's that one where the guy makes himself a dick out of someone's spine.

What are some good long running web comics to bing read
I always enjoyed going through pages of that rotund guy who strangles an animephobic dodo
I've been thinking about reading that Ctrl+Alt+Del comic
Is it funny like that?
Drop some website links for some fun webcomics (If you can from the first page) I prefer non serialized

The body count is around a US president, a vice president, a secretary of defense, the director of NSA, 2 or 3 generals, quite a number of members of the klu klux klan, a few CIA operatives. He also was instrumental to do some socialist national liberation by ousting a fascist US backed junta. So yeah I'd say he wins.
