Newsarama is fawning over an alleged satire of corporatism titled Roxxon Presents: Thor #1, that's written by a certain SJW:

April 17's Roxxon Presents: Thor #1 is a tongue-in-cheek satire that offers up an exacting look at what the absolute worst case scenario of corporate comics can be, with the evil Roxxon Corporation, led by the vicious minotaur Dario Agger and powered by the Asgardian villain the Enchantress, having bought and warped all of Thor's adventures into the corporate synergy comic to end all corporate synergy comics.

In other words, it's exactly what was promised when the frankly hilarious initial announcement of Thor's reinvention as Chad Hammer went out a few months ago. But does the satire have teeth when the call is coming from inside the house?

First off, this comic is funny as hell. Writer Al Ewing, artist Greg Land, inker Jay Leisten, colorist Frank D'Armata, and letterer Joe Sabino, who are all credited as "Roxxon's Al Ewing, Roxxon's Greg Land," etc, all understand the assignment, as the kids say.

Sorry to say, but when a writer as woke as Ewing is doing the scripting, it'd be ill-advised to purchase this item. Besides, if Marvel's owned by Disney, the chances they'll say anything objective even in terms of satire are very minimal.

I'm sure there's independent creators who could develop the satire far better outside the confines of the Big Two, but anybody who thinks somebody like Ewing, who already produced some of their wokest writing of the past several years, will actually take issue with the downsides of corporatism directly within a corporate-owned product would definitely be expecting too much.
