Red Menace

[Animalchandler]

I thought what with all the cross over excitement going on in Marvel at the moment (Something about a Civilain war or something) that I would pick up something else that was a little apart from some of the more mainstream titles, saw this and picked it up. Turns out that the storyline is in fact very similar to CW in that a hero unmasks himself to the authroities with hopes of being seen as more patriotic, only to be accused of being a Communist during Cold War America.

Considering that its much of the same thing that is going on in the Marvel universe at the moment, it seems to be alot more fresh than what I expected it to be; in this story we actually get to see some of the down to earth consequences of the reality of being an 'unmasked' in a superhero world, and at a time where everyone was under suspicion for being a 'Red under the Bed'.

Perhaps someone from Marvel should take a peek...
