My New Bleeding Cool Article: Why Prez Is The Most Necessary Mainstream Comic Out Right Now.
No mainstream comic has more to say than DC Comics' Prez; a true gem of a comic; I was happy to write about it for Bleeding Cool.

My Prez #1 And Robin: Son Of Batman #1 Reviews At Bleeding Cool
Can a girl who got her ponytail stuck in a fryer become President and be the most thought provoking book on the comics rack?
Can a pre-teen sidekick with a penchant for beheading find his humanity?

Dead Prez
Let me get this out of the way: I love Prez to death. He's just one of those characters that if DC Comics lost their minds and allowed it, I'd write him for 34 cents and a handful of Jolly Ranchers. So imagine my surprise that while attending last month's Baltimore Comicon I came across...
Was illustrating the tallest phallus you could think of totally necessary in pointing out Supergirl's ample bosom? Yes!!!
This comic's cover also has a blonde in satin hip-hugger hot pants and a cape. You need nothing more.
Prez Rickard, Teen President is out meeting the people at a supermarket and promising to keep the price of a hot dog low.
It was the 70's, y'know. You simply had to keep the price of a hot dog low.
Can you handle Vandyre University student a hip-huggers wearing Linda Lee sneaking out of the TV room...
...to change into hot-pants wearing Supergirl? Can ya? What could have possibly have caused Supergirl to don the hot-pants of justice?
Why, Prez, of course.
Apparently, Supergirl's X-Ray Vision can see through a TV screen and not just see tubes and rat droppings but can also somehow, make out a gun hidden up a guy's sleeve who happens to be miles away. The redhead can hardly believe it her damned self, either. After Supergirl saves Prez from an assassin's bullet, you know what time it is...
Look out, Prez. My cousin's trying to mug you!
You know after reading this and First Issue Special #4 featuring Lady Cop, I am convinced that in the 70's the appearance of a small Black child was shorthand for "Dyno-mite! That White guy's alright."
That and I'm also 100% certain that Vince Colletta inked the 70's. Did Vince ever turn down an inking assignment?
...and hangs out with crusty old women.
What follows next is, quite possibly, the flyest words ever to be written in the English language.
"Fire Cranial Cannon!"
It's like watching DeGrassi.
Wait, you know Supergirl can't go out like that. Like a common killer. Where's the hook?
Y'know, if I knew that my freedom were coming to an end and knowing the last thing I was going to see for a while were a jail cell's bars, I think I'd the time out to look back, reflect on the past and cop one last peek at Supergirl's boobs on the way out, too.
By saying, "Sike, America!"
The Greatest Comic Featuring Prez Of All Time!
Was illustrating the tallest phallus you could think of totally necessary in pointing out Supergirl's ample bosom? Yes!!!Go away. Leave me.
Oh, you want more? I'll give you more!
All that you can handle.

It's time for "70's Little Black child TM *."

"Fire Cranial Cannon!" Thank you, 1974 Cary Bates. For making my junk hard 32 years after the fact.
Elsewhere, a teenage girl drops a teenage boy from a great height.

By saying, "Sike, America!"Sounds like politics to me.
