 | | There have to be a lot of Republican comic fans out there and I’m sure they’d love to see a right-wing comic character presented without irony, just as we loved it when Power Pack brutalized those anti-abortionists (It was implied in Secret Wars 2 and I know I’m not the only person who saw it). |
