At any rate, originally published in September 2000, it’s set around the time when comic book heroes began to be popularized and is centered around a microcosm of that trend. For a while, a lot of people cited it as their favorite book, but it seems to have drifted off from popularity for some time now. It’s ironic for a number of reasons - one of which is that the modern day superhero has a storied history of being a social justice symbol.Īnyway, it prompted me to finally finish The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay, which I’ve started and stopped a few times. There’s been chatter lately from certain outlets about how comic books are being ruined by social justice warriors (or “SJW”s for short) who are making these stories too “political”.
