- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

Yeah but it hasn't been done where superman is just deporting all these people using his super speed, taking medicines from the cabinets of single African mothers using his flight. I think it would be effective in showing the effects of csncelling USAID and everything else the administration is doing. Hell, do it in golden age comic style for extra points as trump wants to return to that age but not do anything those presidents did.
So instead of Supply Side Jesus, it'll be Supply Side Superman?
Yeah,paint the ridiculousness of their actions. Have supply side Jesus come in and thank him at the end just like the classics
It almost feels like we've come up with a goldmine of an idea for an artist lol.
Red Son was pretty close.
Evil Superman is boring and done to death.
Evil Batman is much more suitable for the times
That would just be Bruce Wayne acting in best interest of the company. But yeah the banality of it sounds like a great Jekyll and Mr Hyde thing.
Have you read Red Son? Where Superman is born in Soviet Russia, ends up taking it over, and implanting brain chips in citizens in order to make them comply?
It was done 20 years ago. And over and over again people have done evil Superman. It's unbelievably played out. It's boring.
An evil Batman is more than him taking the best interests of the company, and they've actually played with the idea before, though not as much as Clark
One version has him adding drugs to Gotham's water supply to keep crime down. It was okay I guess.
Long story short, I have entirely too many comic books 😅
Yeah I have. What I meant was something more in line with the golden age comics, to really smack on that MAGA fever dream, and just having supes be classic campy but doing fucked up shit like taking away crates of medicine meant for African children and shit like that. More of an illustration of what our actions would look like if one of those classic american idols carried them out. I feel.like it would paint a stinging picture.
