Will you be reading Alt★Hero?

Jack Kirby, who is so revered that comic book fans bow their heads when saying his name, was a hard core objectivist and slipped it into the books he wrote. Yes, even Spiderman. There were always a multitude of views in comic books that made their way to the page. Even before the right had to make every single aspect of existence a moral/political issue.

You obviously mean Steve Ditko, not Jack Kirby

Even Superman had a "progressive" bent during the Golden Age.

Yep.

The one with robot enhanced Sean Hannity?

No that is not something I made up.

Yeah, that's the one. IIRC I even bought the first issue out of curiosity. Probably still have it around here somewhere.

How was the robot Hannity enhanced? Super -robotic dildo buggering him as he anti-heroed????????

This is a thing. A bunch of alt righters got together and crowd sourced a comic that appeals to their tastes since the original comics now have brown people and women who dare not just be sex objects in them.



So a world not too different except history went wildly whacky. Oddly the Alt Right decided not to set their story in this world, the one that is supposedly so ruined by SJW's, but instead one with this hugely different timeline. It is almost as if they needed a new reality to set their idols up against the strawmen adversaries of their fever dreams!

So, near as I can tell the premise is that there are superhumans called Homo Sequens who get registered with the UN. And then are used by the UN to bully those that cherish FREEDOM (insert Braveheart GIF here) and no one is more upset than the American military who, I think, end up supporting rebel Homo Sequens to stop crimes the police wont because of PC tyranny.

Here is the launch trailer.



So if you ever wanted a comic book where superheros battle illegal immigrants and ANTIFA instead of villains well....this is for you.

I went to their fundraiser page and was gloriously amused with their donation level descriptions. For example, if you are a $10 donor then this is your level:



Note: Rebel is a female character who wears daisy dukes and a Confederate flag....blouse? that shows how much boob? ALL THE BOOB KATIE!

Not really all the boob.

I'm not sure this will trigger anyone. Except to think of someone that donates money to the creation of a comicbook just to trigger liberals as pretty sad.

A journey though the comments is kind of funny. Or pitiful. Take your pick.




:rolleyes:

Grow ups don't read comic books.

Superman even took on the Ku Klux Klan in the late 40's. A reporter who had infiltrated the Klan would feed the Superman radio show writers inside info like the Klan's current secret password which would be used on the show. Drove the Kluckers nuts.

Ditko was fan of Ayn Rand, but not sure he was a full scale Objectivist. One of the main tenants of Objectivism is that all mysticism is evil, denial of reality and "anti life" but Ditko created Dr.Strange, which is as about over the top mystical as you can get.
 
You know, I might just read this...if I can get it for free. It sounds so magically ignorant...

Pay? Oh, no, I wouldn't give a penny to anything like this. But if it were free? Sure.

Donal also obviously means Spider-Man (the character published by Marvel Comics who has also appeared in several movies), not Spiderman (who as far as I know doesn't exist, although there may possibly have been some minor character somewhere some time, likely from a long-gone publishing company, who used that name).

Could I get the official list of what grown ups do and do not do, just so I can check I'm living life right.

I assume grown ups don't have any truck watching or playing pointless sport, and that sort of thing. Is there a website I can view that has the official list?
