Freshman congresswoman and political lightning rod Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is set to add another, more surprising title to her resume: comic book star.
Ocasio-Cortez will feature as a “butt-kicking” political superhero in a new comic book called ‘Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez And The Freshman Force,’ which is billed as “satire that takes aim at Washington” and that will “spare no one.”
The cover of the first issue “New Party, Who Dis?” – a reference to the jab Ocasio-Cortez made at her congressional colleague Joe Lieberman on Twitter – features the politician wielding a sword and wearing a Superwoman-style outfit in front of Capitol Hill.

Other artwork for the project, published by Devil’s Due, depicts the self-described Democratic Socialist with her smartphone in hand, wearing her signature white suit, hoop earrings and red lipstick.
Ocasio-Cortez – who has not actually endorsed the new venture featuring her likeness – amazed the comic book community recently, quoting Alan Moore’s graphic novel Watchmen in a tweet to her critics: “None of you understand. I’m not locked up in here with YOU. You’re locked up in here with ME.”

While Ocasio-Cortez is seen as somewhat of an outsider even by her own party, it looks like the comic book version of her life will mainly take aim at Republicans – and see the Democratic establishment get off the hook. Describing the comic in more detail, the publisher said it “satirically skewers everyone from President Trump to his near-endless team of morally-compromised Republican cronies.”
It’s not the first time political figures have become comic book heroes. Devil’s Due also turned former president Barack Obama into a comic book star in ‘Barack the Barbarian.’
The first issue of the Ocasio-Cortez-themed comic is set for release on May 15, in case you wanted to mark your calendars.
i think there was a typo in the headline,……..
it was supposed to say “butt licking”
And it’s a commie book. Good thing there’s lots of pictures to look at because the idea of communism working for the People is for the simplest of minds.
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! RLMAO!!!!!
Freakin’ hilarious!
(I was actually depressed by the last article I just sent… until I saw that. Thanks!)
Let’s see. no medical care for babies who survive abortion, boys competing with women in sports as “transgendered”, now this drooling moron is being celebrated and given a comic book. Destruction of America almost complete.
Oh shes a comic alright
very laughable and insignificant… but the funny thing is.. the joke is not only on her , but IS her
Yeah… she’s something else.
They don’t even hide their commie agenda anymore.
It’s just all up in your face now.
Bernie-Cortez. ..2020…!
But that’s not really what upsets me about her.
It’s that goddamint commie red lipstick she wears.
I thought they stopped making that commie whore red color.
I haven’t seen that color for years.
The last time I saw that was when I was in Vancouver B.C. 30 years ago.
Lost. driving. . at a songwriting conference and made a wrong turn onto the red light district.
