First Captain America, now this: BOOM! Town to put the 'Ugli' in Repuglicans
What coincidental timing ... just as the mainstream media and right-wing blogosphere are taking a closer look at the contents of Captain America #602 comes a press release from BOOM! Studios on a new BOOM! Town project that could very well turn their heads as well.

Called Repuglicans, the book will feature "completely unfair and not balanced" commentary and creepy caricatures of "Republican Party leaders and apparatchiks." If you've ever imagined Ann Coulter as an alien or Glenn Beck as a zombie, here's the book for you. Pete Von Sholly provides the art, while comedian Steve Tatham provides commentary.

You can read the entire press release after the jump.

BOOM! Town announces REPUGLICANS with art by Pete Von Sholly and wry commentary by Steve Tatham!

February 15th, 2010 - BOOM! Town, a new imprint of BOOM! Studios, announced today a book of monstrous hilarity, REPUGLICANS!

If you’re a card-carrying Republican, stop reading now. If not, you must get this book. Pete Von Sholly and Steve Tatham bring you a completely unfair and not balanced take on Republican Party leaders and apparatchiks. Sarah Palin, John McCain, Glenn Beck and others all unveiled as vampires, freaks, and zombies. These guys put the UGLI in REPUGLICANS.

1. Marvel's apology
for the Captain America issue is as wet-fish/flaccid handshake as all of their product.

Shame on you, Joe Quesada, for trying to fob off blame on a letterer. He should NEVER have apologized.

2. Already got my copy on order from my local comic book store.
It looks pretty damn funny.
