Prez #2

In "The Democratic Circus," the fractured aftermath of a contested election lands the presidency in the hands of the House of Representatives, where chaos reigns as lawmakers trade votes for favors. Beth Ross, caught in the political crossfire, finds herself unexpectedly elected—her rise as president a product of gridlock, not mandate. Written by Mark Russell and illustrated by Ben Caldwell, with inks by Mark Morales and Sean Parsons, colors by Jeremy Lawson, and letters by Travis Lanham, this 2015 issue delivers sharp satire with a cover by Ben Caldwell.
