"HOHOHOHOHO! WE ARE RICH EVIL PEOPLE! BOW BEFORE US AS WE PRESENT A VARIETY OF CLICHES FROM OUR RESPECTIVE CULTURES."
Or that's pretty much what I got from those first pages. Mexican-looking guy in a suit and luchadore mask? Cliche. Egyptian guy who speaks in hieroglyphs and has a snake theme? The former's slightly novel, but, cliche. Sitting on thrones of money? Cliche. I'm surprised Hickman didn't go all out and have an image of one of them lighting a cigar or some shit using dollar bills. I'm also really kinda insulted - and I'm not even American - at the notion of the guy who pushed the New Deal to make his country a better place, screeching about people getting on their knees before him as the representative of an evil council of rich people.
Absolutely yawnworthy. Each time I see pages from this I just get increasingly annoyed at Hickman butchering the identities and lives of people who actually existed.
Founded by girl geeks and members of the slash fandom, scans_daily strives to provide an atmosphere which is LGBTQ-friendly, anti-racist, anti-ableist, woman-friendly and otherwise discrimination and harassment free.
Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.
