Twisted Toyfare Theatre #4
In this delightfully absurd twist on democracy, Megoville’s mayoral election becomes a battleground of real-life icons when Arnold Schwarzenegger and George W. Bush—still in office—enter the race, prompting Mr. Fantastic to resurrect Thomas Jefferson to keep things in check. With Curt Conners and the Predator also vying for the seat, the campaign trail gets wilder by the minute, featuring debates, political rallies, and even a surprisingly flirtatious moment with Storm. Written by a rotating team of talents including Pat McCallum, Tom Root, and Zach Oat, this satirical spectacle is a sharp, funny, and utterly unpredictable ride—cover by Matt Senreich.
