Clad like a warrior woman, beckoning on her enemies with her war cry of “New party, who dis?” Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has made the leap from Congress to the pages of a comic book.
Out in May from independent US press Devil’s Due Comics – which is quick to point out that Ocasio-Cortez has not endorsed the project – Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the Freshman Force is, according to its publisher, a “satire that takes aim at Washington” and “spare[s] no one”. Its cover shows the new congresswoman, smartphone in hand, in defiant pose in front of the White House; a variant cover replaces her white suit and phone with a superhero outfit and a sword.
