Holy crap, this is hilarious. And perfect. Especially the subtle sexual undertones.
Thanks to Nik for pointing this out to me. We can all use a good laugh these days, right?

Oh wow. Those are all actual lines from The Dark Knight Returns, I assume?
I’ve only read the book once.

It’s jokes like this that make my 20 odd years being frustrated with comics seem worth it.

Yep, actual quotes. That was amazing. And hilarious. Thanks for pointing it out, Greg.

Brilliant. And that one shot of McCain from below, with the shadow billowing behind him, looked like an Alex Ross painting, didn’t it?

Too bad he didn’t finish using the quote at the end…
” I want you to remember the one man who beat you.”

I’ll bet that Miller would have chuckled at this.

This almost got me to vote for McCain. Almost.

Magnificent! And terrifying. And yes, that one panel did look eerily like an Alex Ross painting.

I’m not sure if “She may be better than Dick” was actually a line in tDKR, but I’ll give it to them cause it works so well.

Isnt it awesome how Obama has self destructed after all that hype and his inclusion into the Spiderman comic. That was funny as hell, but I hate to tell you that in this issue the mutant leader kills the darknut…and then turns into a dogshit taco 3 years later
