Captain America battles right-wing conservatives in new comic
2015-10-19
[WASHINGTONTIMES] In the latest issue of Marvel's revamped Captain America, the iconic superhero takes on a group of right-wing conservatives trying to stop undocumented Democrats from crossing the border.

In "Captain America: Sam Wilson #1," the superhero also known as Sam Wilson heads to the border to take on an "evil" militia group known as the Sons of the Serpent, who are patrolling the area between Mexico and Arizona, according to a video summary of the issue created by the Maciver Institute.

The Sons of the Serpent try to stop a group of undocumented Democrats from crossing the border. They accuse the immigrants of invading a sovereign land to spread disease and crime, take American jobs and collect welfare.

#15  Reading through the article and the comic excerpt: there's many layers here, and I suspect that the talent at Marvel is yanking the suits.

#14  A "superhero" isn't a God.

Bambi isn't either, no matter how delusional he is.

They invest 2% of the money to destroy the NRA and use 98% to fund a super pac for super gay friends called huma-beings-madder.

#11  From the article: "However, the episode ends on a cliffhanger, with the original Captain America Steve Rogers returning and telling the new superhero to stand down, Breitbart news reported."

Could be a clever way to replace this 'new' Captain America and get him back to basics (if Marvel Comics is smart).

#10  Comic books must be an excellent platform for propaganda with lots of pictures

That's why I exposed my kid to manga---immunization.

#9  Comic books must be an excellent platform for propaganda with lots of pictures, not too many words, simple sentences for simple minds that are easy to read and no big words. The people who read them are young people in their formative years who are gullible and not particularly well educated. While others their age are reading Tom Sawyer they're reading Captain America and soaking it up like a sponge.

#8  Considering the state of comics nowdays I'm not to worried about widespread readership. The movies are the only thing keeping Marvel afloat.

#7  Captain Socialism

The SJWs have co-opted Marvel, at least the print version. Wonder if Hollyweird is willing to kill its product too.

You know if we went back to the original copyright of 14 years with the individual creator getting another 14 year extension, a lot of this silliness (not to mention the resource misallocation cause by the 'entertainment' industry) would disappear.

#6  Might be worth buying the comic, it'll be one of the last.

#5  Captain America ? The guy wearing really tight spandex pants that show off his crotch prominently ? And he lives in California where its only a short distance to Mexico ? OH, he lives in San Francisco ? A little longer commute then , but he has lot of friends in SF who think his butt is wonderful. And most of them wear tight pants too ( for some reason). Names like Danny and Dwayne and Maurice.,and Clarence and Officer Judy.
Oh,and Griselda Thurmer who likes to play football.

They enlist fake super heroes for fake narrative progressing a horrible agenda that has nothing to do with America.

Are Liberals or Moslems more destructive to Civilization.

I think Moslems would never do this shit without Liberal encouragement.

Ergo, Liberals destroyed the earth.

#1  Yet another bunch of sheltered libtards are virtue-signaling like crazy.

Good thing I was never much into comic books. Other wise I might actually be concerned.
