This week, Devil’s Due published the Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez & The Freedom Force: New Party, Who Dis? comic book. A number of comic book retailers ran exclusive retailer covers, including this one for NY Collector Cave by Carla Cohen which Bleeding Cool posted a couple of weeks ago. In which AOC bears a stunning resemblance to Wonder Woman. Too stunning it seems for DC Comics whose legal team, after reading the article on Bleeding Cool (Warner Bros IP traffic spiked in the days after we posted that article), sent a cease-and-desist notice to DEvil’s Due and the NY Collector Cave demanded that the comic in question not be distributed, but recalled and returned or destroyed.
But by that point, the horse had already bolted. The exclusive retailer covered comic had been printed, to a limited cover print run of 250, and sold to many a collector. And anyone trying to resell the comic has also been hit with a similar notice
But it does mean that what was once a 250 print run is going to be a lot smaller. And once again, DC Comics have accidentally created an insanely hot collector’s item, which will perpetuate the image they most objected to for years and years to come. Like right now.
Originally the NY Collector Cave sold copies for $30 – though the listing has now been withdrawn. Yesterday, copies were selling on eBay for $40. They have now been taken off eBay – aside from one, currently listed at $70. Buy it while you still can, they aren’t going to be making – or possibly listing – any more…
$100 each by the end of the weekend?

The power of her policy makes wealth disappear
Robbing tip jars with impunity.
Must have been a tear in the fabric of time. Wow that is one huge rip to fix
She has Super-Intelligence! It so far exceeds the brain power of us mere mortals that we cannot even fathom where she is going with it! Faster than a speeding neuron! Able to leap to conclusions with no evidence. And who, disguised as a mild-mannered bartender (except when it comes to tips) in Queens, she fights for truth, justice and the Venezuelan Way!
It would take a new inter-dimensional green deal to fix.
I’m sure that she can blow d**k like the summer breeze.
Her super power is incredible ignorance compounded by outstanding stupidity.
Flipping on the garbage disposal switch. Amazing strungth. (Yep, strungth you can't even imagine.)
Her super powers are being completely impervious to reality and living in a separate universe made by her mind alone!

Comic book sales thrive with liberal snowflakes and pajama boys...That’s the only books they can read without ever having to think...
