AOC Returns in 2020 With BALLOT BOX COLLECTION


 
 
from the official press release . . . . .
 
 
The Creators of 2019's Most Talked-About Comic Book are Back With the Mother of all AOC collections...
 
 
 
[CHICAGO — January 29, 2020] Devil's Due Comics is excited to announce the follow-up to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the Freshman Force, which became 2019's most talked-about comic after portraying the Democratic congresswoman as a corrpution-fighting superhero. The 144-page trade paperback, entitled Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the Freshman Force: Ballot Box Collection, will be available at physical and online retailers on April 22, 2020, with pre-orders now available at www.OcasioComic.com.
 
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the Freshman Force: Ballot Box Collection was conceived by Devil's Due founder Josh Blaylock, and features contributions by numerous award-winning artists. It contains three comics in one paperback collection:
 
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the Freshman Force: Squad Special (Brand new!)
 
Talk Bernie to Me: The Bernie Sanders Special & AOC Surprise (released July 2019)
 
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the Freshman Force: New Party, Who Dis? (released May 2019) 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
THE THREE COMICS
 
 
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the Freshman Force: Squad Special
The brand new sequel to AOC and the Freshman Force draws inspiration from the tight-knit, self-proclaimed congressional "Squad" that bonds AOC, Ayanna Pressley, Rashida Tlaib, and Ilhan Omar. The comic continues some of the most popular Capitol Hill adventures from the original Freshman Force comic, and showcases several new storylines. 

Talk Bernie to Me: The Bernie Sanders Special & AOC Surprise
Originally released in the summer of 2019, this anothology comic portrays the two-time Presidential candidate as a full-fledged populist superhero. Talk Bernie To Me! is chock full of short-form Bernie comics, Trump and GOP skewering, plus satirical games, puzzles, and a dollop of AOC, naturally.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the Freshman Force: New Party, Who Dis? 
Originally released in May, 2019, the debut AOC comic from Devil's Due sees the freshman congresswoman engage in a series of super-heroic mini-adventures as she takes on the GOP establishment from within. To boot, the anthology satirically pokes at everyone from President Trump to his near-endless team of morally-compromised Republican cronies. AOC confirmed to TMZ she was humbled and honored by the comic, saying she hoped it would inspire people to discover their inner superheroes.
 
 
WHAT'S STUFFED INSIDE THE BALLOT BOX?
 
 
"2020 will go down as one of the most important years in not just U.S. politics, but our country's history," says Devil's Due founder Josh Blaylock. "And if this collection can play even a tiny role in bringing more attention to the current madness in Washington, it will be worth the hard work we put into it."                   
 
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the Freshman Force: Ballot Box Collection features contributions from several acclaimed and award-winning writers/artists, including Jill Thompson (a Neil Gaiman collaborator and creator of the Scary Godmother graphic novels and TV special), Dean Haspiel (Emmy-winning title designer and longtime collaborator with Harvey Pekar on American Splendor), Jose Garibaldi: (Lego Movie 2, TMNT, Captain Underpants graphic novels), and more.
