We do and we are, we just don't have any one artist dominating a current era because a) the amount of work an artist has to do is more complex in the digital era but also b) these artists were notoriously underpaid, overworked, and often had their contributions overlooked or flat out stolen. Obviously, that still can happen, but to be a "Jack Kirby level artist" and to have that relationship to Marvel isn't like. a good thing.

Anyway I think the art of comic artists like Tradd Moore or Javier Rodriguez or Greg Smallwood or Chris Samnee and multiple other names I could list should be considered genre defining and massively important to the craft but that's just me.

I think the big issue with the mutant metaphor or other such attempts at allegory for diverse characters in the modern day is that you can now tell stories about racism with black people. It isn't the 60s anymore where the comics code authority was very cautious about that kind of thing. You can put gay people in a comic. Scott Summers does not need to experience fictionalised racism anymore, you can actually center on the people with those experiences. And as we do get more stories by black authors and by queer authors, both those about oppression and those that are not, it becomes increasingly ludicrous that the mutant metaphor actually has any use, particularly when it increasingly becomes treated as the only axis of oppression that matters with intersectional characters.

These kinds of metaphors and analogies had their use in a time where the kinds of stories you could tell were more regulated, but it is the year 2025 and I do not need to see Rogue go like "Wow, I can't believe they made a MUTANTPHOBIC HORROR MOVIE 😱😱😱" as if this is the first and worst time this has ever happened. I find it really obnoxious but equally I don't really know how they could fix it. Like, the metaphor has served its purpose. We can move on now. But the iconography of the characters remain and you can't really separate it from them, even when it becomes ever more unwieldy in a post-comics code authority comic book world.
