YMMV / America's Best Comics

• Never Live It Down: Despite that this project was meant to be Alan Moore's attempt to make up for his hand in kickstarting the Darker and Edgier age of comics, modern readers have become more critical on how even the Lighter and Softer works still regularly featured sexual assault and, in some cases, glorified incest.
  • Tom Strong finds out that he's been raped on at least two different occasions, first by Ingrid Weiss, a genetically engineered Nazi who stole his sperm while he was unconscious and used it to create her son Albrecht. The second time by an alien bat queen who used pheromones on Tom when he was on the moon. Tom was completely unaware of when both instances happened, and while the specifics of what Ingrid did exactly aren't revealed, it's still treated as a violation in at least some sense. After Tom finds out about the second time, he can only bemoan that this happened to him again.
  • During a time travel adventure, a twelve year old Tom is heavily implied to be attracted to Tesla despite knowing for a fact that she's his daughter.
  • The Many Worlds Of Tesla Strong one-shot has her briefly visiting a universe where at first glance it seems like everyone is just naked all the time. Then she meets her counterpart Tamla's parents, who not only encourage her to strip down but mention some of their daughter's boyfriends are "coming by to use the hot tub," with Tamla freely inviting her to join. Tesla quickly leaves before things get even creepier, with a lot of unspoken implications about what goes on in this world.
  • The original Greyshirt feature in Tomorrow Stories showed gangster Spatz Katz with a young moll named Candy. The Indigo Sunset miniseries later revealed Spatz met and started dating Candy when she was a teenager, making him not only a morally bankrupt gangster with no regard for human life but also a groomer. Candy's even repeatedly referred to as jailbait by Lips Lafayette. At no point is the age gap between them ever mentioned.
  • Cobweb and Clarice of Tomorrow Stories are eventually revealed to be sisters and the latest in a very long line of lesbians who figured out a way to reproduce asexually. The very same story that confirmed they were raised together also confirmed the two are lovers, as their mothers, grandmothers, and great-grandmothers were. Even if the two aren't related to each other biologically, they see no problem in viewing each other as sisters and sexual partners.
  • A First American story in Tomorrow Stories has the long suffering U.S.Angel find a portal that let's her mentally control F.A.'s body. She lets his villains rent out his body, with Gerta Dammarung explicitly using it to have an orgy with the Village People. The ending has F.A. discover U.S.Angel's got a similar portal, using it to "team up" with Cobweb. There's also implications that F.A. is a child molester.
  • Smax of Top 10 comes from a fairytale like world where, as a half-ogre, it's a culture norm for him to marry his own sister Rexa. Smax explicitly left his homeworld because he didn't want to marry her, to the point of comparing his homeworld to the Ozarks. By the end of his miniseries Robyn convinces him and Rexa to give it a try. In the following Top 10 miniseries, the two are now living together with "his and her" toiletries but no one aside from Robyn knows they're siblings.
    • Also from Top 10, the original series ends with the cast exposing the Seven Sentinels as a long-running pedophile operation. All of their major cases and investigations are revealed to be cover stories to mask that they've been grooming and raping their kid sidekicks - some of them their own children - for years. M'rrgla Qualtz, the so-called Vigilante from Venus, even commits literal Mind Rape on Jack Phantom to goad Jack into attacking her to make Top 10 look bad. The arc also ends with the reveal that Captain Steve "Jetlad" Trainor is a closeted gay man who's been in an Age-Gap Romance with his partner Wulf for decades. The prequel series Top 10: The Forty-Niners showed Steve was 16 and Wulf was 24 when they started dating. Steve comments on the end of the Seven Sentinels case if there's a difference between his relationship with Wulf and the "relationship" the Sentinels had with their kids.
    • A lighter example would be Girl One discovering that Sergeant "Hyperdog" Kemlo (an intelligent Doberman) is colorblind, and realizing he knew the entire time that she's actually naked. Her creators designed her to have a ingrained desire for nudity, but she alters her skin pigmentation to appear like she's covered in symbols to disguise this. Kemlo defends himself by assuring Girl One that he's still a dog and isn't attracted to her, which is why he never said anything. Though she buys it, Kemlo later admits in private that he was bullshitting.
