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Originally the NY Collector Cave sold copies for $30 – though the listing has now been withdrawn.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?

Why does every phrase associated with AOC sound illiterate? On second thought, no need to answer that one.
Bleeding Cool?
Self-appointed authorities on what’s cool? Like Communism?
She can suck a golf ball through a garden hose.
She can suck-start a Harley.
She can suck the chrome off a trailer hitch.
The site is known for pop-ups and spyware. I’m sure you use all the requisite blockers, but I’d still avoid clicking on the link. The author of this piece is a toxic SJW.
She can lower the average IQ in any room by 30 points just by appearing.
Have to be insane to want her comic book.
Can we ignore her now?
It would be fun to do a comic like this in a serious manner. Some comics like the Watchmen and the Avengers movies have dealt with the consequences of people with super powers. Let’s have a comic Where she fixes something with her beams of socialism in the first few pages, and then for the rest of the comic, people have to live with the side effects of her meddling.
I don't think that copyright infractions apply to after market resales.
It isn't a counterfeit or bootleg.
Hahaha. She certainly can. :D
Haha. That’s perfect. :D
‘What are her super powers? ‘
Going from bartender to the face of the Democrat Party in about one year - I’d say that’s pretty good.
But just as Kryptonite was Superman’s Achilles Heel, AOC’s fatal nemesis is(wait for it) Dum, dum dum da da! A Garbage Disposal! It renders her confused, dazed, frightened and unable to move!
You just defined all liberals.
hmmm.....
Showbiz copyright vs. enshrined First Amendment political speech issues.
Sounds like it could tie-up our entire Federal court system for the next thirteen years.
