When Civil War came out in ’06 it made the pages of the New York Times, which is rare for a comic book crossover event. What got reposts was buzzing was the political allegory involved in the story. Superhero fighting superhero over a Government imposed registration act where all costumed superheroes had to register their identities with federal authorities. It’s pretty obvious to see the parallels to modern US policy. But why hasn’t Marvel’s latest crossover event, Secret Invasion, garnered the same press? And invading foreign army aided by imbedded sleeper agents? I think this story is just as allegorical to a post 9-11 world. Get off your asses New York times..
