ever, today's political news resounds through the comic graphic novels world in an fully different way immediately. Some dark comics came out of the Reagan years,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but superheroes have been plunged into all-out civil war opposition their own governments.
On October 8th, 2008, just ahead the November referenda, John McCain and Barack Obama starred in their own comic books promulgated by IDW Publishing,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], merely it was nobody like you would think. Even although "Savage Dragon" publicly endorsed Barack Obama in a recent issue, the IDW announcements were presented as objective, illustrated, political news biographies of the 2 candidates.
It has been described as "heavy on the facts,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], light on attitude." The McCain book featured masterpiece by Stephen Thompson and prose by Andy Helfer (who too did "Road to Perdition" and "A History of Violence") and the Obama book was illustrated by Tom Morgan and written by Jeff Mariotte (who has done Superman, Spider-Man and Star Trek comic book catena).
"We didn't do everything namely is sensational here," said Scott Dunbier from IDW. "We're stuck apt the facts." Dunbier joined that graphic novels have proven extremely effective in reaching and educating folk. "We're not in the business of doing textbooks," he clarified, "But I meditation comic paperbacks really o have the great latent to inform and instruct and do extra than just criterion superhero comics." Fans can pre-order the books through their website or visit Uclick apt view the comics over their cell phones.
Political news isn't all so instantly reported through comic book art, though. Sometimes, events in modern life are paralleled through events in the comic book heroes universe. For example, Marvel Comic's "Civil War," unlocked in 2007, introduces an epic combat emulating the corridor of "the Superhuman Registration Act" (much like the Patriot Act in our world), which asks that people trade in some of their liberties for security.
The Registration, more specifically, requires always costumed heroes to be authorized and exercised, disclosing their hidden identities to the government. While some temperaments in the DC Universe, like Fantastic Four's Reed Richards and Iron Man support the registration, others like Captain USA amplify an underground resistance.
Spiderman initially aids the fancy so much he unmasks himself on live TV, but afterward recants while he sees the Abu Ghraib-like prisons. Whether these obtuse allegories are an effective way of making a political expression or not remains to be seen.
There are also political news people like K. Thor Jensen and Jenny Gonzalez who focus on war stories. In "House of Twelve Goes To War," the depictions converge on little-known appearances of the War on Terrorism. "Some sad, some action-packed, some unfathomable, but I agree you each and each 1 is 100% true," the website declares.
"Team 12 was charted at the administration and coerced into working towards its campaign effort. When we returned, we resolved the fact must be acquainted in the most effective access feasible; auto-bio comics! These are our stories of our experiences during the Great War."
