This comic is incredibly didactic. The focus is on the ideas and political agenda of the writer rather than the characters or plot. This feels like a weird criticism from me considering I am the exact type of person Border Town is trying to pander too. I fully agree with the comics sentiments about modern day racism and immigration. But for this kind of straight forward, down your throat promotion of an ideal I would prefer an essay on the topic. Don't get me wrong I love a story with strong themes and ideas interwoven, but they should be just that -- interwoven. In Border Town the politics are sloshed on top with a ladle. I gave Border Town three issues to prove itself, but it doesn't seem to be getting any more subtle.
