The Four Color Media Monitor

I almost forgot I wanted to post about this, but the new Valiant's just made their sidings in this year's election clearer in an issue of the series starring Faith, and the saddest part is that a writer whose work I did appreciate years before is writing this story:

On November 2nd, just days before Election Day 2016, legendary writer Louise Simonson and Harvey Award-nominated artist Pere Perez present history in the making with a presidential milestone like no other! Faith Herbert, star of the highest selling independent superhero debut of 2016, is a shining beacon of optimism in a challenging world. Her day job as a blogger and journalist is about to bring Faith face to face with Democratic Presidential nominee Hillary Clinton…but it’s her daring alter ego as Los Angeles’ leading superhero that will have to save the day when a new threat emerges to imperil a pivotal moment that has all of America watching!

Just what everybody needs, a tale featuring an incompetent politician who didn't handle the Benghazi disaster properly, and didn't follow the State Dept. instructions with emails when she was a secretary of state. And what's the threat they speak of in the Faith story? Conservatives?

And it's a shame Simonson is penning this story, because she was once a writer I did appreciate. Now she's making the mistake of putting her politics at the forefront, and perpetuating an error too many comics writers are doing now, by going ultra-liberal and political in nearly everything they script. This upcoming book is nothing more than absurd electoral propaganda.
