Vol.3 #4 - Boots Too Big to Fill: Violence, Ideology, and the End of the Cold War 1:37:16

5 weeks тому1:37:16

1:37:16

What do heroes leave behind? The answer should be obvious. The contest for control of the world economy entered a new age at the end of 1991. Socialist forces were in retreat as the then-second largest superpower, the USSR, crumbled under pressure from more than 70 years of capitalist onslaught. Its splintered masses would be powerless to defend themselves against instantaneous pillage and plunder by the avaricious. Half a planet away, the ostensible beneficiaries of capitalist success, the US working class (including the writers and artists behind Superman), would find their rights and livelihoods under immediate and vicious attack as well, although you wouldn't know it by asking them. An ideology of righteous violence befits a class of owners who need the workers to fight their wars, and it limits the imagination of a class of workers who need each other if they ever hope to win their own freedom. What do heroes leave behind? More heroes. It's time to grasp what that means. ---------- Issues covered: The Legacy of Superman #1 ---------- Special thanks to our Lovable Sidekicks: Better Possible Futures, Kourtney Smith, Walt Lewellyn, Kafka, The Black Casebook's Very Own Nightwing, JD Lunt, Ambird, Mr. Pig from the Intervention, Travis Armstrong, Chris Marks, Wirecats, Sheeee-itttt, VoidTek, Mars Hottentot, Richard Bell, TakoTuesday, Joseph, and Knife Money ---------- Email: collectiveactioncomics@gmail.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/collectiveactioncomics Twitter: https://twitter.com/CAComixPod Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/cacomixpod.bsky.social Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/collectiveactioncomics…

Vol.3 #3 - The Ever Ending Battle: Karmic, Economic, and Literal Cycles of Violence 1:14:21

14 weeks тому1:14:21

1:14:21

Superhero comics are cycles of endless strife, dialectical tides pushing and pulling between too often oversimplified representations of "evil" and "good." As if on a journey from vulgar physical form to enlightened spiritual ascendence, superheroes die and are reborn over and over, with little consideration that this time might be the last. What happens when an economy does the same? How do we allow it to rise and fall like the characters in our funny mags? Like the souls in our bodies? Will it ever be enough? ---------- Issues covered: The Adventures of Superman 499 Action Comics 686 Superman: The Man of Steel 21 Superman 77 ---------- Special thanks to our Lovable Sidekicks: Better Possible Futures, Kourtney Smith, Walt Lewellyn, Kafka, The Black Casebook's Very Own Nightwing, JD Lunt, Ambird, Mr. Pig from the Intervention, Travis Armstrong, Chris Marks, Wirecats, Sheeee-itttt, VoidTek, Mars Hottentot, Richard Bell, and Takotuesday ---------- Email: collectiveactioncomics@gmail.com I nstagram: https://www.instagram.com/collectiveactioncomics Twitter: https://twitter.com/CAComixPod Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/cacomixpod.bsky.social Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/collectiveactioncomics…

[TEASER] Vol.3 Bonus #1 - Absolute Superman: The Allure of Sanctioned Dissent 2:32

17 weeks тому2:32

2:32

Small town boy makes good? or big city media conglomeration makes believe? Absolute Superman is an ostensible return to the character's origin as a voice (and fist) for the masses, but can we trust DC Comics (a subsidiary of Warner Bros. Discovery) to deliver such a hero? More importantly, does the book's intent even matter? ---------- Special thanks to our Lovable Sidekicks: Better Possible Futures, Kourtney Smith, Walt Lewellyn, Kafka, The Black Casebook's Very Own Nightwing, JD Lunt, Ambird, Mr. Pig from the Intervention, Travis Armstrong, Chris Marks, Wirecats, Sheeee-itttt, VoidTek, and Richard Bell ---------- Email: collectiveactioncomics@gmail.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/collectiveactioncomics Twitter: https://twitter.com/CAComixPod Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/cacomixpod.bsky.social Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/collectiveactioncomics…

Vol.3 #2 - Power Levels: Organizing for a Better Tomorrow, Today 1:20:52

20 weeks тому1:20:52

1:20:52

How many of your neighbors have you met? When was the last time you helped the homeless? Do you, as a worker, have the power to affect government policy? Organizing takes many forms, some immediate and some sustained. While the abilities of Superman would certainly be helpful, they're by no means necessary to build a world that protects the vulnerable. Journey with us as we explore historical currents in oppression and the never ending battle to oppose them. ---------- Issues covered: Justice League America 70 The Adventures of Superman 498 Action Comics 685 Superman: The Man of Steel 20 Superman 76 ---------- Special thanks to our Lovable Sidekicks: Better Possible Futures, Kourtney Smith, Walt Lewellyn, Kafka, The Black Casebook's Very Own Nightwing, JD Lunt, Ambird, Mr. Pig from the Intervention, Travis Armstrong, Chris Marks, Wirecats, Sheeee-itttt, VoidTek, Mars Hottentot, and Richard Bell ---------- Email: collectiveactioncomics@gmail.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/collectiveactioncomics Twitter: https://twitter.com/CAComixPod Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/cacomixpod.bsky.social Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/collectiveactioncomics…

Vol. 3 #1 - Here Lies Tomorrow: The Collective Beginning of the Individual Future 1:30:25

24 weeks тому1:30:25

1:30:25

What does it mean to be "super?" What does it mean to have "power?" The Death and Return of Superman has us asking these questions in an era when it was less and less appropriate to do so. It was also a time of deep unrest, being the first sprout from the seeds of counterrevolution the previous decade. The ostensible leaders of resistance to such reaction were about to take us on quite the merry chase, and many liberals in the US were relieved to be "represented" once again, despite all evidence to the contrary. Join us. Join us as the Man of Steel dies and with him, our tomorrows. We may yet see them reborn. Welcome to season three of Collective Action Comics. ---------- Erratum: I called it the "North American Free Trade Association," but everyone knows it's the "North American Free Trade Agreement."

Today in Bonus Feed Land, the irrepressible Neil Kapit takes the stand as a character witness for that plucky upstart Tony Stark! Neil asserts that, while Iron Man might not be the most beloved superhero on the left, the pathos and self-sacrifice of this demon-haunted Avenger speak to a far more interesting human being than the movies or Mark Millar would have us believe.

Vol. 2 #13 - Classless Conflict: How the Ultimates Fails the World 2:13:59

2 years тому2:13:59

2:13:59

From oil fields to poppy fields to killing fields, the United States lays claim upon the Earth. Overwhelming force in service of the export of capital requires constant presence and insistent justification. There is no excuse too craven nor apologia too callow for the media that abets these crimes. No matter how you costume it, the violence is beyond vindication and even beyond satire. Our heroes can do better. We can do better. We will. (This season owes love and gratitude to Lawrence Ferlinghetti, without whom poetry would be incomplete.) ---------- Email: collectiveactioncomics@gmail.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/collectiveactioncomics Twitter: https://twitter.com/CAComixPod…

Vol. 2 #12 - Capital Under the Cowl: Disguising History for Work and War 1:04:23

2 years тому1:04:23

1:04:23

Sometimes, you have to break a few omelettes to get to the eggs inside. "Conventional wisdom" is a curious thing, and, in the United States, it's been deliberately constructed, shaped, and molded over the last 70+ years. Patriotic imagery and severely lacking history curricula have joined forces to warp the perception of the US, leaving its citizens believing it to be a historical force for good. Obviously, this isn't the truth. But, hey, you certainly wouldn't know it from this issue. And, yes. It's the one with Captain America doing that thing you've heard about. ---------- Email: collectiveactioncomics@gmail.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/collectiveactioncomics Twitter: https://twitter.com/CAComixPod…
