This article is actually by some guy named Hector Bala. Rich Johnston just retweeted it or something.
It has some decent points, such as calling time on nonsense like Sitterson and the shared universe, but it's pretty poorly argued.
He wants Joe to go contemporary, but pulls examples from the 70s (and here I thought diversity was created in 2012 or something). He sees how the X-Men were a metaphor for the civil rights movement, but didn't notice the Hama-comic has already served as a real-world analog since the first issue. Cobra already is Isis and the KKK combined.
He also has some nice numbers on military diversity, but forgot Joe is special forces, which has like 0% females from what I've heard. He repeatedly mentions all the incredible jobs and units that aren't represented in Joe yet, but can't manage to come up with one. Neither can I. Joe toilet scrubber?
The Dixon run also didn't exactly set the comic world on fire. Still, I'd rather read a Joe comic according to this guy's vision then the trash we're currently getting.
I'm surprised Bleeding Cool posted such a problematic MAGA article, though.
