In "Chapter 1: Corndog-in-Chief," Beth Ross finds herself thrust into the presidency under the most chaotic circumstances—after a fractured Electoral College forces the decision into the House, where backroom deals and last-minute vote-switching lead to her unexpected ascension. 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 issue captures the absurdity and gravity of power in a system ripe for dysfunction. The cover by Ben Caldwell perfectly mirrors the story’s tone—sharp, satirical, and just a little too real.
