Why I only buy older comics these days...

Absolutely. I always found the introduction of serious sexual themes into a genre that spotlights super-beings who fly around in garishly-colored undergarments to just be innately ludicrous and innately pathetic. And that’s even before they started going all homo.

What was satire 20 years ago is now reality.

Frederic Wertham is rolling in his grave.

This ain’t the country my daddy fought to save. We’re more concerned about making the poofers happy than we are the men and women who serve us everyday. But even that’s been polluted by the Marxists.

Corrupting children is evil!

These days the typical comic book fan is a 40 year old geek.

"The industry is catching on pretty quickly to the fact that diversity can improve sales of comics," Josh Siegel, founder of Geeks Out, wrote in an email. "So publishers are evolving their lines of books to showcase queer characters in a number of interesting ways."

Oh, BS. Comic sales have been falling for years and years...higher prices and socialism have driven the old collectors' out. The publishers are based in NY and LA...they base their stories on the world they see outside their window, not reality.

Fun experiment...go into a comic shop, and ask the clerk if he can recommend ANY comic without queers. Bet it takes him a while.

This began with Marvel in the eighties and quickly spread to DC. The SJW’s over ran comics a long time ago.

I believe this has been instrumental in the decline in comic industry as a whole. They have deliberately alienated their conservative audience.

I wonder what plans the Gaystapo have to attempt to destroy them.
