Marvel pisses me off again 


Newsarama posted a 12 page preview from Captain America #21 today. You can check out the story and access the pages here.

My question to the blogosphere concerns page 10 of 12. In the first panel of this page Cap listens to a radio report about an Iranian scholar being fisked away: "--and Hedsyst's clandestine transfer in the dead of night to Guantanamo Bay, where he is expeced to be tried for treason by a secret military tribunal."

In the next panel a person who appears to own the diner that Cap. is sitting is remarks "...what's the country coming to when they revoke your citizenship before you're convicted?" To wit Cap. begins to talk about the internment of the Japanese "Well, they interred the--" before the conversation is interupted.

Let's ignore the shamefull fact that Captain America would never justify something by referencing the Japanese interment, an event contrary to everything Cap holds near and dear. My question: has anyone actually heard of a case where a United States citizen was removed from this Country, taken to Guantanamo, stripped of their citizenship, and put in front of a military tribunal?

If so, could someone please provide a URL documenting such a thing, if available.

If not, can we admit that this is just a bit of untruthful and uneccessary politicizing which, if you read the other 12 pages, doesn't appear to have _anything_ to do with the story?

DAMN YOU MARVEL. Can't you just publish good comics without all this left-wing bullshit propaganda?
