Well, he would. Being a member of the liberal media *and* an illegal immigrant! If socialized health care is so great, then why didn’t he stay on Krypton, huh?
And bless him for it.
Is this the one Millar wrote?
Still waiting for the sort of 90s-Morrison-ish (mixed with All Star) version of outrageous weird scifi Superman breaking (through song) the suns-spines of cosmic-scifi surrogates of union busters, pinkertons (/3rd world death squads), Reagan and blackwater dudes – or a Kirby-esque portrayal of argentinian workers-run Zanon’s challenges (“mass firings” = “!Brainiac’s planetary suicidal machine that runs on ritualistic sacrifice of the vulnerable!” etc). Cosmic Anarcho-Syndicalist Superman shall be the awesomest of Supermen.
Basically I want a image of New Deal Superman farting Reagan’s head off his neck, is what I’m saying.
“And like so many other illegals, we just want him to clean up our messes and do the jobs we can’t do for ourselves for non-existent pay”
Oh how I laughed. Save me, Super Illegal!
The comic came out during the Depression, of course they’d be socialist.
Its no surprise to me that Superman has always been a Socialist. Here’s a guy who gives all that he can to the people while asking for absolutely no compensation.
Supes does insist, however, that your hospital shell out for a regeneration matrix suitable for bringing a Kryptonian back from the dead. There may not be waiting lists for once, but is that his fault?
