Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Yes it is, despite all the nay-sayers on here. The super-creep genre has always been reactionary and protective of the status quo.
Are you sure you're not being reactionary? The target of the comic isn't the corporation making the movies. It's attacking the people that watch these movies... people who are largely working class. Seems like an elitist anti working class kind of comic to me.
I'd also put a little blame on lazy writers who want the villains to be relatable so they just make some extremists for otherwise good causes, look at posion ivy who could be easily just be in it for money and power but often push environmental aspects and that's one thing I think the other guy might be getting at
Yes.
No, it doesn't. It literally just demonstrates how we are swamped by this pro-status quo propaganda. That is most definitely not what an "elitist anti-working class" narrative looks like at all. If you want to see what an "elitist anti-working class" narrative looks like, go watch any Batman movie.
