Comic books have always been a metaphor and narrative mirror of society and the current zeitgeist. To pretend otherwise is silly. If you pretend to hate politics in comic books, it’s only because the comic doesn’t mirror your own. There is a comic book called Captain Confederacy about a superhero in a world where the C.S.A. won the American Civil War – and it wasn’t written for the “woke.” The point is that comic books, as a medium, have always been political and challenging societal norms. It is something you must keep in mind when reading Something is Killing the Children Vol. 1.
