Anti-Americanism in comic books today isn't just limited to Marvel - three years ago, DC Comics went that route too in allegorical form with a filthy miniseries called "Identity Crisis". It was moonbat misogyny galore, but also revealing was what DC's editor in chief, Dan DiDio, told Newsarama two years ago:
NRAMA: Where did the desire for a shift in tonality within the DCU come from?
DD: A lot of this actually came following September 11th. After everything that occurred in New York City, I was coming to work at DC, and going through the Port Authority. At that time, you would walk into the Port Authority, and you would have National Guardsmen standing there with machine guns. He’s standing there holding his machine gun, and is supposed to be making me feel better and more protected, but somehow, that gave me a greater sense of dread – it put me more on edge.
See that? Clearly, he's not all that different from Joe Quesada, Marvel Comics' own editor in chief. Marvel's current staff is certainly guilty of some of the worst politicization of comic books for leftist atrocities these days, but don't think that DC hasn't been going that route as well. The difference may be that they're being more clever when they want to be, and if they see making a book allegorical to their advantage, they'll do it.
