What's a good run of Squirrel Girl? I'm fed up with Deadpool but still want some light hearted monkey cheese.

Vol 2 is only on issue like 19 I think. Volume 1 was also very good and not a ton of issues so you can probably get a collected paper back of them. I would say though Squirrel Girl isn't the same style of humour as Deadpool, but if you don't love Kraven's van the "Kra-Van" then you shouldn't be reading comics anyway.

DC made Supes a big fat commie (and Jimmy Olsen a KGB agent lol) I know it wasn't canon but no ever got upset about that I don't think.

Also Red Son is my fav comic behind Brian Wood's DMZ.

There's another comic on right now, injustice, where superman is a fascist. Not brainwashed either, just went through grim dark circumstances and snapped.

That's not protest worthy because... idk.

Because Red Son was good. The core message was also "Virtue isn't innately American."
Hydra Steve's core message is 'uh Trump bad??? I guess?'

Because it's a lovely alternate reality tie-in to a Mortal Kombat videogame. No one protests Lex Luthor stealing 40 cakes either.
But yeah if some of the utterly terrible injustice comic stuff was official no one would buy DC. More so.
Like Damian kills Nightwing accidentally by throwing something at him in an argument, causing Nightwing to have a slip and fall, breaking his neck. At least I think it was Damian, if it was another Robin it's even more dumb.

Sorta. He totally winds up an authoritarian in the second half of the story (it's a tragedy after all). Dude is virtuous, but grows hardened and paranoid after everyone he trusts betrays him. Superman conquers the world, then has a cheesy "My Mother's name was Martha" moment with Lex and a secret note, where he realizes part of humanity is free choice and fakes his death/helps dismantle the worst parts of his empire. Humans then rebuild it into a true utopia -with Superman secretly watching.


I mean it's still a comic book and only gets sillier if I explain the note and its context and then what happens after Humanity creates its utopia.
Kingdom Come also has an authoritarian Superman done well. Where he basically retires during the edgy 90's/lives in solitude let's the world go to poo poo for a decade or so and then when he's convinced to come back says "gently caress it, if you can't run this place I will."

I think that we have lots of fossils, but they're all from a known set of discrete species, and don't actually show evolution from one species into another over time.

Which is totally wrong

During free comic day there was a free comic where hydra America lifted Thor's hammer, people are taking that to mean that Marvel supports Nazis as heros and some even uploaded pictures of them getting a free comic and burning a free comic in their bathtubs that they wrote "gently caress WHITE SUPREMACY" on

I guess it's because it's an "alternate universe" and "doesn't count". And he's just a generic evil dictator and not a literal Nazi with swastikas who wants to kill the Jews.

Also people only seem to remember Hitler and the Nazis and forget that other tyrannical, genocidal dictators are also really terrible. Adolf Hitler was such an enormous shithead that people seem to forget about Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Saddam Hussein and other evil dictators throughout history. It's good that people know that Nazis are the scum of the earth, but it's bad that Communists aren't treated the same way and you have dopes like Justin Trudeau praising Fidel Castro.

Isn't he corrupted by some external influence or something? It's a loving comic so of course he is.

I find it hilarious how a story line of "good guy ends up bad in this reality" has people losing their poo poo in the OP link about SJWs though. Like.. what? I find them obnoxious but I don't think they were demanding Captain nazi
