Same goes for comics.
Unless the artist has always been political in his work and that work is politically driven or inspired, I'd rather ingest such political viewpoints elsewhere. I completely understand those who want Hama to stick with the simple Joe vs Cobra motiff but then again Hama may be striving to create a more complex, multi-layered, more adult story that addresses current events. Who knows what message he's sending. Perhaps he's trying to turn the Joes into controversial figures for the sake of drama and not politics. Who knows for sure. I'd like to hear his comments. That would be interesting. Maybe that could be a question you send him on Facebook.

I don't need/want politics in my fantasy stories. Want to mirror real life events? Okay, just make sure it's adjusted for the comics world.
I can't stand when a singer gets political at a concert. I'm not there to listen to their views, I'm there to listen to their music.
I want to troop build the AV. I think, using the resolute helmet/goggles, that he could become my default trooper. I like the look alot. Lose the shield, lose the facemask helmet and we're in business.
I'll be gone for the next 4 days. Heading down to Maryland for a wedding. Won't have time to do anything else sadly. Coming home with a puppy, lol.
