One of the things (among many) that I love about Antarctic Press's creators is the fact that they aren't afraid to try something new, take chances and step on a few toes.
Case in point is the two hilarious takes off of Alaska's favorite ex-governor Sarah Palin and Cal(e)fornia's governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Sarah Palin: Rogue Warrior #1 pokes fun at the straight talking ex-governor starting with its cover of Sarah in what appears to be a slight variation of Wonder Woman's red, white and blue outfit-only Sarah's is a little bit more revealing and she's sporting a machine gun and wearing a winter hat. She's also surrounded by all sorts of military vehicles.
Inside a number of artists and writers pay satirical tributes to Sarah beginning with a faux Wonder Woman comic book cover, pin-ups, a Li'l Palin Peanuts knock-off, a hilarious send-off of Knights Of The Dinner Table, a Sarah Palin confrontation with the Russian military and a lot more pin-ups. You betcha!Arrrrnold is in all his muscular glory brandishing a huge sword on the cover of The Governator #1 by David Hutchinson.
The Governator, with the help of a certain Italian Stallion and Texas Ranger must stop lobbyists from substituting special effects for real life action heroes. It's a no-hold-barred skirmish as the Governator and his aid take on the forces of the lobbyists on the ground and in the air. Who will survive? Do I really have to tell you? The Governator is a political poke at the politics of Arrrnold and the subsequent mess Cal(e)fornia has found itself in. He'll be back!
