Making the case for Automatic Kafka
A really great article from PopImage about one of the more subversive mainstream comic book, Automatic Kafka. A small excerpt.

hile The $strangers$ can be taken as an analogue for the Doom Patrol- after all, our protagonist is a robot- but even more obviously, they’re analogue for the Avengers. Helen of Tory is the Scarlet Witch with Tantric Sex powers, The Constitution of the United States a Reagan- style Captain America puppet. And Since A.K. has always had a crush on Helen, I don’t need to tell you whom he represents.

Suddenly, it all makes sense. Time to re-read Automatic Kafka.
