Well, I do personally enjoy political commentary in comic books, but only when it's about something going on at that time.

There are 2 examples I can pull up to support what I mean, both involving Spider-Man. Remember when Flash Thompson fought in the Vietnam War after he got out of high school? Remember the opening scene from The Amazing Spider-Man (Vol. 2) #36 back in 2001, the one that depicted the aftermath of 9/11?

That kind of commentary in comic books is something I support, because it shows us what's really going on in the world through a popular form of medium.
