Sounds like they could put all these organizations under one umbrella and call it a day. What I have in mind would probably piss off conservatives even more though...

Nah even thought they all want basically want the same thing, they are pissy and petty. That is why they never get ahead too much backstabbing, the only group with an interesting idea is U.L.T.I.M.A.T.U.M. - The Underground Liberated Totally Integrated Mobile Army To Unite Mankind .
They want to get rid of countries and nationalism.
I guess they would a liberal terrorist group

While they're clearly wrong, I do somewhat admire the conservatives' ability to go batshit at the drop of a hat. If only all of us had reacted with such anger towards something that actually mattered, like the Trans-Pacific Partnership.

Space Ghost?
i think comic writers are fully aware at this point that backronym names are dumb, but they are also, crucially, very comic-book

haha, stole my post.
Yep, I actually love everything about that name. The fact that they joke about it in the comic makes it even better.

Propaganda attack on conservatives in comic books? With such a ridiculous idea you'd think conservatives would finally realize they are the ones being brainwashed by conservative think tanks through propaganda. It's unbelievable how blind they are to it. Echo chambers I guess.

What kind of stories do these people want comic books to tell?
Superheroes fighting ISIS is not very meaningful or interesting.

what intellectual rot
I can pretty much instantly think of an interesting story about terrorism being about conditions and a chain of retribution, let's say, instead of a big obvious giant robot you can beat up. So i dunno brah.

You want to humanize and rationalize terrorists? That'll go over well with conservatives.

PBS did a great documentary a few years back entitled Superheroes - A Never Ending Battle.
If comic books having social commentary is somehow news to you or just something you did not realize, I strongly suggest checking it out.
While they have not always done the best of jobs doing so, comics have always tried to speak on the issues society faces.
The fact these nincompoops over at Fox somehow are taking offense really does speak volumes about their overall character.

BRB going to read while drinking conservative tears
My favorite comments are from the parents who will no longer be buying their children librul propaganda, and will instead purchase comics that focus on "family values".
"Sorry-not-sorry, Brayden, but you'll never find out if Spiderman lived or died. Instead, this comic will be much better for you, it's called the BIBLE. I also got your sister a cookbook, because comic books aren't for women."

The comic was actually really good...Sam Wilson makes for a better Cap than Steve....he's also smashing Misty Knight so he's cool in my book (Fuck Iron Fist)

Still one of my favorite Cap moments, even if I'm reading it decades after the fact.
If it had come out in today's conservative news media climate, then we would have had dumb headlines like "Captain America calls America Trash!"
He's not actually. He talked to his brother about that.

"How can we make the racists and sexists complaining about Thor and Captain America angrier? ....WAIT, I GOT IT!"
I never considered the pairing, but I kinda like it. I wonder how they will handle Jane dying of cancer though. Or if they'll just write out the cancer at some point.

feel free to express your desire for escapist comics but your desire to limit the scope of a genre within a medium for no other reason than you want to speak for everyone else is misguided at best.
every piece of art or literature is created within a sociopolitical framework
everything is political. only when a work deviates from the established norm is it usually accused of being political.
out of the big heroes you could make the case Spider-Man is essentially apolitical although his problems or villains are likely so.
superman and cap america clearly push american sociopolitical ideology.
batman and iron man dont exist as they are without living in an imbalanced capitalist society
thor's whole deal is that hes the prince of asgard
so when a work isnt criticized for being political its because its mostly conformed to historical, demographic and social expectations.

I feel like this page entirely predicted the whole backlash that would result from this. The fact that they're actually responding in an identical fashion doesn't really help them if they don't want to be associated with villains.
For real. Captain America is the poster child for comic books as propaganda.

Hulk comments on Israel and Palestine
1) This Hulk is a Real American.
Side Note:
I love you for these things Slayven. I really do. Did you ever find a panel of the Great Lakes avengers being ordered to stop using the avengers name. That's the one time I remember you saying you couldn't find a comic related thing.
Theres a few things wrong with this post

So when a fictional character in a fictional story goes against conservative ideals then we need to have a call-to-action and get this shit banned? lol Oh, conservatives. You give me a sensible chuckle but then when I see how adamant you are at infringing on other's personal rights and liberties then I get worried.
I did a double take when I read that.

I just realized these guys would start shitting blood if they ever read Archer and Armstrong (which you should).
The creationist theme park and wolves of Wall Street parts would probably turn them off.

Fox News would never check to see if their hats have skulls on them.
