Should superheroes take political positions?
For some reason, Google is having a hard time finding some of my recent posts to the new Comics Professor blog (now at http://www.comicsprofessor.com/). So from time to time, I will highlight new blog posts here.
For instance, please see "Should superheroes take political positions?", which was inspired by Vaneta Rogers' recent article at Newsarama discussing social commentary in comic books, including Denny O'Neil, Greg Rucka, and Judd Winick. In it, I discuss my own views on politics in comics, including where it's appropriate to mention superheroes' political orientation, and the two cases in which is definitely is not.

Action Comics #870 (no spoilers)
Wow.
I may just be a old softie, but my eyes certainly welled up at the end of Action Comics #870, and I already knew what was going to happen ("thanks" to the spoilers at the New York Daily News).
Geoff Johns and Gary Frank - wow, just wow.
Even if you're not a Superman fan, even if you haven't been following the current "Brainiac" storyline in Action Comics, do yourself a favor and pick up this issue. Grab some Kleenex while you're at it - if you're human, you'll need it.
UPDATE: I just re-read it, and the tears came back. Incredible.
