Comics have always striven to be apolitical in the sense that every reader could see their heroes as being on their side based on a selective interpretation of their actions. For example, superheroes tend to be broadly in favor of social justice, but naturally also stand for law and order, so readers could identify with whichever suits their preference. However, this has sort of fallen apart recently, not because of some sinister liberal agenda, but just because conservatives tend to devalue creative professions which means that the vast majority of writers will favor Democrats and thus inject their beliefs into the story, whether consciously or not. Republicans will struggle to catch up as long as they keep pushing all of their aspiring artists to "get real jobs" thus making it difficult to produce anything more than blatantly political tracts written by talentless hacks.
