Bernie Sanders portrayed as superhero in new comic book

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), one of the front-runners for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination, is getting the superhero treatment in a new comic book.

The comic, titled “Talk Bernie To Me,” is a one-off issue from Devil's Due Comics to be released in July and depicts Sanders as He-Man, going shirtless and holding a sword in front of the White House.

Sanders is also wearing a chest plate with “$27” emblazoned on it, representing the average individual donation to his campaign.

"I've been increasingly impressed with Sanders' ingenuity and ability to be on the right side of history — even when it’s not the popular thing to do — from his fights for civil rights and healthcare many decades ago, to the introduction of the recent Stop BEZOS Act and Stop WALMART Act," publisher Josh Blaylock said in a press release announcing the new comic.

Rather silly in my opinion but if you want to spend your money on it go for it.

10. Reminds me of the weird trump fantasy art

The ones with him riding on the back of a lion wielding an assault rifle or leading the crossing of the Delaware.

12. A comic book publisher is making the comic. It has nothing to do with Sanders campaign

But the proceeds go to worthwhile causes:

A portion of all sales will go toward the ACLU and RaicesTexas.org, a group that provides immigrant children and families free and discounted legal services.

I think it’s cool that this publisher is doing this. If it were anyone else but Sanders I’m sure many would be happy to have proceeds go to help for immigrant children.
