There is a difference, though, if he's metaphorically raping the reader or if he's actually raping a character.
Doesn't make the character much less of a dick, though.

(Somewhat OT: Has anyone else here read Millar's
Superman: Red Son, and if so, what did you think of it? In any case, it makes sense that a non-American would take that symbol of USAness and turn him into Stalin's favourite. ;))
Yes, I really like it!
Millar also did The Ultimates vol. 1 and 2. The second was particularly damning of US hegemony and foreign policy and quite heavy handed with it. Awesome comics though.

Well, not really. Rape is explicitly called out repeatedly throughout the first two issues that I read, so I don't think it's too much of a stretch to apply it to a picture of his face when he's "fucking you in the
ass."
Oh I see.
