Comics as propaganda?

Some people got into a kerfluffle when Action Comics #987 depicted Superman as flying in to save undocumented immigrants from a white man who is shooting at them. Here's me laughing my ass off at them.

See, Superman is a good, kind character. He will fight against oppressors of any kind and he will fly in to lend aid to anyone in need. While I may not enjoy his stories (I prefer something a little smaller in scale and no, Batman is even more boring than Superman in my opinion), I will say that there are few heroes out there who can match Superman's capacity for kindness.

That Superman would fly in and interpose himself between a shooter and his victim is completely in character for him. Stop complaining about that. Is the whole thing politicized? Maybe. But here's the thing: comics have been doing this since the Golden Age. Promoting (racist) war propaganda, getting people to buy war bonds, used to boost troop morale in the front-line and all that.

It's always been the case for the entirety of comics. Deal with it. Hell, even right wingers have their own shitty comic book propaganda writer, Frank Miller. Go read that offensive piece of shit that Frank Miller churned out and drown in the shitiness of that work.

Besides, Superman has always been against the alt right movement.
