Straight from Barack Obama's home city, Devil's Due announces three Obama inspired items available this June.
DRAFTED:
100 DAYS: Devil's Due's original Sci-Fi hit returns with this
double-sized one-shot featuring the President who could have been.
Mark Powers offers a poignant look at a man the world never got to see
achieve his true greatness when a race from beyond the stars drafted
our planet into intergalactic war. See how he struggles, just as every
other man, woman and child on Earth does in this truly inspiring
story. As can be expected from Powers, there's one other difference
about our hero in this story in that due to an injury... he is MUTE.
1-Shot 48 Page Special
BARACK
THE BARBARIAN: QUEST FOR THE TREASURE OF STIMULI: Devil's Due and Larry
Hama (G.I. Joe, Wolverine) take political satire to a whole new level.
Hama, a surprise hire to some, but not to those who truly know his
tastes, will take a look at the current
state of politics both past and present and isn't afraid to point fun
at Washinton's sacred cows. In the distant future the story of Barack
Obama has become a little... distorted. According to THE MADDOWIAN
CHRONICLES he was the one destined to save the great republic of
America and dethrone the overpaid despots of the time. Join Barack,
Sorceress Hilaria, her demi-god trickster husband Biil, Overlord Boosh
and Chainknee of the Elephant Kingdom. Who can the lone barbarian
trust, if anyone?
Ongoing Series.
"Yup,
we did it, we made Obama books!" states DDP President Josh Blaylock,
"But I guarantee you these are unlike ANY others out there."
Look
for these items shipping in early June, and keep an eye out for
exclusive variant covers available at this year's San Diego Comic-Con!
