SJW Marvel vs. 1990s Marvel - Politics in Comic Books | New Warriors #8 and #9 Review
In the current controversy between fans of superhero comics and the anticultural hitmen out to destroy them, one of the most intense arguments is over whether comic books have historically touched on political issues. Both sides are partly right and partly wrong. This video explores how a mature, competent comic company that was still primarily interested in good storytelling (i.e. Marvel in 1990) handled a contemporary hot-button political issue vs. how a bunch of activist hacks (i.e. Marvel in "the current year") would handle it today, using New Warriors #7 and #8 as examples. We also touch upon the important related topic of "decompression" and how it is anathema to the monthly, 22-page comic book format.
By the way, if you are a fan of teen superheroes like the New Warriors, and you love old comics where the characters are heroic and stuff actually happens, be sure to check out After Dark, the first volume in our East End Irregulars series. The Irregulars are a team of teen superheroes from Pittsburgh, pitting themselves against metahuman gangsters, werecats, and mad gassers as they discover the eerie side of the city. https://amzn.to/34vndjE
