Wikipedia might help me out here.

Perhaps the particulars of these depictions have been offensive, but I would say that a balanced depiction of drug use would be interpreted as an overtly favorable one, which could cause considerable offense and be considered politically incorrect.

I would agree becuase that's what ACTUAL political correctness should be. But part of it's definition implies catering to the sensibilities of as many people as possible. Hard to offend with the 'drugs are bad' message. Though, again, this is hardly the only social issue addressed in comic books.

I like Blackspider but the official name for Miles Morales' alter ego is now El Hombre Aracnido Negro. So it is written, so shall it be done.

EDIT: lol I accidentally had hermano (brother) instead of hombre (man). That opens up a whole new slew of hilarity/racial insensitivity, though!

How is their characterization of drug users, dealers, and even drugs in general in any way politically correct?

It's not like their only other option is to write Drugs: The Comic Where Everyone is High All The Time. You can easily explore a lot of the actual issues without the hamfisted, offensive approach that comics take, which almost always misses the actual problems.

Okay, how about this: comics are de facto liberal by routinely pissing off Tea Partiers and Conservatives, whether it be Captain America commenting on a Tea party rally, Nightrunner being a black Muslim, or the new Ultimate Spider-man being biracial.

Actually, can someone point me to a recent anti-drugs comic becuase I don't remember seeing anything like this within the last like, 15 years. Or at the very least are there any relevant stories? I'm curious if this issue is in fact being handled with the same early 90's D.A.R.E.esque manner.

ARG screw you for saying what I wanted to say but instead it makes sense. Now I have to find a new point to obfuscate.

Everything pisses off the teaparty. Bits of the bible and the American revolution piss off the teaparty. Probably not the best judging standard.

Only when liberals "interpret" them differently than they do.
