Just in time to match our presidential election season is an expanded reissue of the DC Comics series about America's first teenage president, a cyberpunk rocker girl in 2046. If you've already got the previous collection of this series then it may not be worth it to get this repackaging. Like the prior collection we have all six issues and the sneak preview issue of the series. The new additions are the solo Catwoman issue Election Night from 2016 and also 'a brand-new short story.' Now, all of this is an updated version of the 1970s original series featuring a boy president instead of a girl. In either case whether 1970s boy or 2040s girl you may ask: biting satire? Yes, please. ~~ M.L. Fringe
