Three Things Everyone Should Know About Comics and Politics

1) To know Glorious Godfrey is to understand the modern Republican Party.  Godfrey is a reverend of evil who preaches to his followers that belief in a Dark God justifies their ability to discriminate against, despoil, and kill all those who are different from them.

2) Likewise, the 2008 election of Barack Obama is the most Forever People moment in American political history.  The Forever People represent the eternal spirit of youth, that questions everything because they refuse to accept imperfection and compromise and believe that life can be a beautiful paradise.

Seriously, just look at this picture.  Don't you wish you read more comics?

3) Jack Kirby created both Godfrey and the Forever People in about three months of comics.  There's a reason Kirby was the King and why The Fourth World Saga elicits such glee.

BONUS THING: Now is a great time to start reading DC Comics again, because Iris West has adopted a new identity called Pandora and is going to ask the Justice League to help her stop her husband Wally, who has turned evil and is using the Speed Force to destroy the universe.  FLASH FACT
