"I'm The Best There Is At What I Do – And What I Do Is Teach Political Geography"

At University, I was a Politics student. Thoroughly enjoyed it, did quite well, and it was only a fortuitous meeting that ripped me from going into politics as a career or sorts and into advertising instead. I still write about politics, for the Daily Show blog and draw cartoons for Guido Fawkes, and it's something I'm as happy to argue the toss over as I am to discuss the definition of terrorism in a post IRA society.

And so, it seems, is Wolverine. In the latest Astonishing X-Men by Warren Ellis and Kaare Andrews, not only do we have a discussing about racial politics between Storm and Cyclops…

"I'm The Best There Is At What I Do – And What I Do Is Teach Political Geography"

but Wolverine gives a summation of current African politics and an interpretation of Nelson Mandela that would have sat well with Margaret Thatcher.

"I'm The Best There Is At What I Do – And What I Do Is Teach Political Geography"

Warren Ellis there folks, teaching politics, history and geography to Americans, one comic book at a time.
