   Every day, another vindication for Alan Moore's diagnosis that comic book movies are fascist.

     @abolisyonista - I did a subject last year on Crime and the Media, and we looked specifically at superhero movies and comics.. it was fascinating.

     @abolisyonista - we looked at how comic books started as copaganda, how the the current iteration of Marvel movies is pro-US/anti-Islamic propaganda post 9/11, how zombie movies are about capitalism, horror films are about consumption etc.

     If you're interested I have two assignments I wrote for it - blog posts about The Punisher and about Funny Games. I can repost them here.
