Catwoman Takes On City Hall In November
Catwoman gets involved in Gotham’s mayoral race this November!
Being that it is a year we elect a new leader, it makes sense that a lot comics might get a little political this fall. Though Catwoman isn’t necessarily a stranger to political maneuvering, she’s not usually one for local politics. That will change this November in the on-shot Catwoman: Election Night #1. Check out a synopsis for the comic below:
"CATWOMAN: ELECTION NIGHT #1Written by MEREDITH FINCH and MARK RUSSELL — Art and cover by SHANE DAVIS and BEN CALDWELL — Variant cover by DAVID FINCHIt’s mayoral election time in Gotham City, and while the city is up in arms, Catwoman couldn’t care less! But when the candidates get personal, the Feline Fatale decides to get involved—much to the detriment of…well, everyone! This issue contains a special bonus story featuring the return of President Beth Ross from the critically acclaimed PREZ miniseries.ONE-SHOT • On sale NOVEMBER 2 • 48 pg, FC, $4.99 US • RATED T"
Catwoman: Election Night #1 promises to be filled with plenty of political satire. In addition, it is a farewell to the canceled Prez series. In case you aren’t familiar, Prez is a character that in name has been around since the 70s. Prez is usually a character used to make political commentary of some sort, as they are usually the president in the future or on an alternate earth. The most recent run of Prez featured a teenager named Beth Ross who was voted into office of Commander In Chief by popular Twitter vote. The original Prez, Prez Rickard, is actually her Vice President.
Honestly the only thing that sounds outrageous about that concept is that Twitter will still be a big social media platform in 20 years. Odds are something else will have taken its place by then.
