Is this an attempt to influence young people by using a comic book?

SSgt Alex Robinson In my opinion it is an influence on the younger generation. The comic book should be casual not political. This is far-out cry to the younger generation.

Why not? If books, movies, news, etc can be politically themed, why shouldn't comics?
Comics run $5~ a piece, and many are actually geared towards the adult generation as opposed to "kids." Remember that Spiderman, the Fantastic Four, Avengers, the X-Men, and almost all of the "icons" came out in the 1960s~. Sure there are some more modern exceptions, but we're not talking 2010~.

Sgt Aaron Kennedy, MS you make a valid point, however I feel kids should read a comic book for fun and adventure and not mixed with ideology politics. It takes the adventure out of the fun. Its like getting a piece of gum, but its bitter and not sweet!

SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL I think the ideology is the adventure.
The VILLAIN has to be the most interesting part of the story.
Take a look at the original Capt America comics. Cap is boring. We get him. He's a perfect specimen of "America." He's what we aspire to be. But Hitler. We hate him. He's Interesting, because we can't understand him.
Magneto is interesting as well. Because he has a valid point of view. It's one we disagree with. But no less valid. He's a great villain. The best villains make the best stories. You can't aspire to greatness with out Adversity. Part of that adversity is the ideology.

SSgt Alex Robinson - Staff; If the kids don't buy the books they don't get influenced. This is an attempt to sell books (read as "make a profit").
Of course Disney Enterprises does have a lengthy history of "going after" those who are "right wing" (and making money doing it).
