File this in the Truth Is Stranger Than Fiction category. Last week we did a story about the odd intersection of Michelle Obama and Wonder Woman. This week the First Lady is getting her own comic book.
The Obama comic is due to hits the stands in April. It will follow her path from her childhood in South Side Chicago to her days at Princeton to her current lofty status as Mrs. Most Powerful Man in the World.
“I feel like the guy who invented the Furby,” publisher Darren Davis noted. “The reaction has been insane.”
We’ve read a lot of comics in our time and we’d like to offer Davis some free advice:
If you really want to make this thing work, give Michelle a super sidekick. Maybe his name could be Socialist Boy and his super power could be the ability to print and spend unlimited amounts of money. Michelle and Socialist Boy can join forces to battle their arch enemy, Free Market Man.
That would be gold. Pure comic book gold.
