I did read Agents of Atlas, let me think about that for a second.
...yeah, there is a point that the absorption and manipulation of outdated symbols crosses the line from League of Extraordinary Gentlemen to Frank Miller. They're not commenting on it, they are It.
I missed any problems with Agents of Atlas, thought it was very good and don't think this comic he wrote here compares. What did you notice in it?
My previous comments could be seen as cowardly or wishing to dodge the issue, which was unintended. Rather, I feel this is an issue where I have a lot more to learn than to say.
"(Now, of course it's possible that parts of a work that we initially think are racist/sexist/etc. turn out to be subverted elsewhere in the work ... but I really don't see how that could happen, here.)"
Ha, I tried to discuss that idea too, and then I reread what I wrote and just said "Naah." This comic here is almost certainly all as we see it. It's reasonable to make charges of racism from this point. But it's not undeniable. I'm waiting for undeniable.
