Two panels from Amazing Spider-Man #595...
Hopefully this is okay with the new legal limits as it's 1/4 of a page...


Speaking as someone who leans pretty hard on the Left and is a huge supporter of Barack Obama, I really thought this was a bit out of place. I don't think political digs of either side should be present given the title. It's hardly the worst thing that's in the issue (Jonah Sr being  a Marty Stu to Osborn while Jonah Jr is warming up to him despite their history takes that piece of the cake), but it did annoy me a little.

Thoughts?

Relatedly, his works have a strong recurring theme of dealing the superhero-as-overman, and how that sort of power affects morality. In most of his stories, possessing that sort of power leads to the heroes becoming ruthless and dictatorial. How this is depicted varies; he's clearly drawn to the idea of a single man shaping history through force of will (compare Luthor in Superman: Red Son and Iron Man in Civil War).
