> if Homestuck is a comic making commentary about comics, I wonder if there’s anything at all to Lord English being connected not just to real-life English colonialism, but also to the British Invasion movement in comics history..?

I don’t know how much merit there truly is to this as a serious analysis, and I suspect not much at all, but a thought I want to get down before I go to sleep and forget it; Beforus being a planet where those with super powers looked after those who didn’t, transformed into Alternia where those with powers abuse them and oppress everyone else, kind of does look a bit like English did a “comics deconstruction” on them
