Oliver, there's one other point that I think we both share and that is: sometimes we want certain mediums to be apolitical. When I go to a concert, I don't want to hear the songwriter go on about how he hates this president or that senator--even if I agree--because I came to the concert to listen to music, not hear a political diatribe. 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.
