Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the Freshman Force Squad

Debuting in 2019 from Devil’s Due / 1First Comics, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the Freshman Force Squad is a single-issue comic that blends political satire with superhero action, imagining the progressive congresswoman and her allies as a team of caped crusaders. Illustrated by Joel Humberto Herrera, the one-shot stands as a playful, pop-culture-infused commentary on contemporary U.S. politics, capturing the energy of the 2018 midterm wave in a distinctly comic-book idiom.
