This could probably fit just as well in the Art & Design forum. But since it pertains so directly to the current politic situation, I thought it might as well go in the Switchboard.

It's a site in which political posters and 50s alarmist imagery is reconfigured to fit in with modern American politics --> Know Your Place, Shut Your Face...

Not yet, at least. It's utterly bewildering how gung ho 'Team Achilles' is. On the other hand, we're three issues in and there's just a whiff of subversion about the last one. Who knows? Maybe he's as cheeky as another comics writer who frequently spends ten issues making you think he's screwed it up...
