Superheroe's new face: Female politicians as comic book queens

[Beacool]

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and Secretary of State Hillary
Clinton are political power players immortalized
in the Female Force comic book series.

March 11, 2009

(CNN) -- Long gone are the days where comic books feature images of men in tights and women glorifying the female form. Bluewater Productions comics welcomes the pantsuit, and toned arms.

In a new series designed to examine influential women who are “making and shaping modern history,” Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton are the first political power players immortalized in the comic book production house’s new Female Force series. The read follows the life of the two Washington femme fatales — in graphic novel form, of course.

First lady Michelle Obama and Caroline Kennedy are the upcoming women to be featured in the series. The covers depict Michelle Obama sporting a sleeveless number amidst a White House backdrop, and Caroline Kennedy sharing the spotlight with her father, President John F. Kennedy.

1. Sarah Palin totally ruins this. What a joke.

Watch as Super Sarah turns these ordinary bathroom appliances into some Wasilla Wacky Wonder Meth!

2. Well..................

She IS the governor of the largest state and she WAS only the second female vice presidential candidate in US history. So, I guess that they had to include her to be fair.

:shrug:

3. Pfft, we're in power now, fuck being fair!

:P

4. Now, now............

They can't just have the women we like. The Freepers have to have their heroes too.

6. I guess Sarah could be there for comedic relief.

You always need the idiot to provide some laughs.

She can even have her own catch phrase!

"In what respect, Charlie?

8. You're bad............

5. Where's Nancy Pelosi - The First Female Speaker of The House?

I think Pelosi deserves being on the cover more so than Sarah Palin. Pelosi is arguably the most powerful female politician in the U.S.

7. Give them time.

This is a brand new series, Hillary's was the first one. Then Palin, now they are working on Michelle and Caroline.

I have to find out where they sell them. I want to buy Hillary's. I do know that they changed the cover because her people complained about the first one. They had her in a tight blue suit that emphasized her breasts.

This was the original cover:



This is the final cover:
