* Pat Mills was very fond of writing about the evils of Christianity and the glories of Neopaganism in the 80s; ''Sláine'', ''ComicBook/NemesisTheWarlock'' and ''ComicBook/ABCWarriors'' were particularly prone to simply becoming mouthpieces for his views on religion. However, he's gotten better about it.

** To name another example from Ellis, ''ComicBook/{{Supergod}}'' amounts to a manifesto about how religion is really just a drug addiction, stated most blatantly in the "I am your stash" speech.

* ''ComicBook/TheAvengersJasonAaron'' #20 is pretty much an entire issue dedicated to Aaron using [[ComicBook/SheHulk Jennifer Walter/She-Hulk]] to [[TakeThatCritics deliver a meta-mockery of everyone who has criticized his run on her.]] The most infamous highlight has to be the sequence where she notes that [[ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk Bruce Banner]] once confessed to envying her, because her Hulk form was far less threatening and more socially acceptable than his own deformed and monstrous body — and she, incensed by it, retorted by complaining to him how her form was less frightening, but she was also the target of constantly being hit on by her allies, lusted after by civilians, exploited by sleazy paparazzi, and groped during her fights with supervillains. The issue literally concludes with her stating that she loves being ugly and scary like Bruce, and she wouldn't go back to her older She-Hulk bodies if she had the choice.

Naturally, as soon as Jason Aaron was no longer writing her, Jennifer immediately went back to her old self with a massive sense of relief.

* The ''ComicBook/LuckyLuke'' comic books written by Jul clearly tackle subjects like racism and veganism, which appeal to him.

* ''ComicBook/LiberalityForAll'' is basically one long super-conservative author tract which posits the idea that the UN and Democrats want to put terrorists in charge of the United States. And that only a superhero team made up of a Creator/FoxNewsChannel talk show host and two conservative talk-radio hosts/convicted felons -- all with {{Cyborg}} ArtificialLimbs -- can save us all.

* ''ComicBook/TransformersDeviations'' was pretty much writer Brandon M. Easton shitting on the post-''WesternAnimation/TheTransformersTheMovie'' cast throughout the whole one-shot. [[spoiler:Pretty much every Autobot introduced in the movie, bar Blurr and Kup, die; Rodimus Prime dies using the Matrix, even though this didn't kill him in the film; and everyone is rude to Hot Rod when they weren't in the film -- and keep in mind that the the premise of the comic is Optimus was the one who walked away from the duel alive and Megatron was the one who died, so the other 'Bots have no good reason to treat Hot Rod like crap in this version of events when they didn't in the film despite Optimus's death.]]

* Jack Chick's ''ComicBook/ChickTracts'' are literally religious tracts in the form of comics. They contain thin stories to provide a framing story for an illustrated extract from Literature/TheBible and/or rant about how UsefulNotes/ThePope [[UsefulNotes/ConspiracyTheories secretly rules the world]] and ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' is a Satanic indoctrination tool. One tract explains where the idea came from -- Communist China found that Western children loved reading comics, so they decided that easy-to-understand comics would be an excellent medium with which to indoctrinate the people.

* ''ComicBook/Superman/Grounded'': Superman quotes from Henry Thoreau. Thoreau spent one night in jail as the result of some outspoken, risky opinions. What are Superman's great controversial moral stands in Straczynski’s run? Well, he’s not fond of drug dealers, he’s against illegal immigration unless America gets something out of it, he’s for sweetheart government deals for corporations to jumpstart the economy, and he thinks child abuse is bad.

I suspect Moore actually *likes* old movies, but also finds the horrible stories fascinating.


** ''ComicBook/CinemaPurgatorio'' is essentially a monthly rant about why classic cinema is awful and evil in horror-comic form.
