"In a just world, Mark Waid is the bar, rather than a notable comics writer."
----------
The saying goes that he who is known as an early riser can get out of bed whenever he wants.
Similarly, Action Comics #1094, "Our Superboy At War," pushes the limits of what "liberal" storytelling can depict before it crosses the line into conservative jingoism. Because ostensible progressive Mark Waid wrote it, the actions of the hero within must be just and good.
The line drawn here is blurry, and what it divides is less important (although just as obscured) as where it ends. And where it begins.
