DC is Putting Politics in Your Batgirl Comics in January… Literally

DC Comics is taking the whole secret industry conspiracy to inject politics into all your favorite comic books to a level not seen since Prez was on the stands. In Batgirl #30 and 31, revealed in the DC Comics January solicits, Barbara Gordon joins a political campaign for "up-and-coming reformer candidate who wants to take on the GCPD." But in doing so, it puts Barbara at odds with her own father, Commissioner Gordon, one generation against another.

It's metaphorical politics. It's literal politics. And some superhero punchy kicky as well. What more could you ask for?

See the rest of the DC January solicits here.

In this issue, it's Batgirl for Congress! Plus, masked assassins and awkward exes! Barbara Gordon volunteers to campaign for an up-and-coming reformer candidate who wants to take on the GCPD. That puts Barbara in a tough spot against her father—police commissioner James Gordon. And just when things couldn't get any more awkward, a former flame reenters Barbara's life. Personal angst and a masked super-villain hunting a mystery target. It's gonna be a long day, Babs.

A prophecy once said that in the comic book industry's darkest days, a hero would come to lead the people through a plague of overpriced floppies, incentive variant covers, #1 issue reboots, and super-mega-crossover events. Sadly, that prophecy was wrong. Oh, Jude Terror was right. For ten years. About everything. But nobody listened. And so, Jude Terror has moved on to a more important mission: turning Bleeding Cool into a pro wrestling dirt sheet!
