I forsee some mainstream media coverage:

February 15th, 2010
Author J. Caleb Mozzocco

Boom’s newish “Boom! Town” imprint will be publishing a book entitled Repuglicans by Pete Von Sholly and Steve Thatham. The subject? Well, the title and cover kind of say it all, don’t they? It will be a 130-page, six-by-nine inch softcover priced at $15.

Given the attention a single piece of a single panel in a background of a Captain America comic garnered, I wouldn’t be surprised if we hear a lot more about this book as time goes on. Will Boom’s EIC Mark Waid end up apologizing to anyone? Unlikely. Waid tweeted that he was “humiliated and mortified on behalf of” his “entire industry that Fox News is able to bully us into apologizing to lunatics” in reaction to Joe Quesada’s marvel culpa.

    BOOM Editor-In-Chief Mark Waid has never made a secret of how much he hates Republicans/Conservatives, so seeing BOOM roll out something like this is certainly no surprise.

    Somehow, I don’t think there’ll be a companion piece focused on Democrats, do you?

    I hope there’s absolutely no real coverage since that’s what they clearly hope for. I think Waid is being a bit of an ass but then again he’s got to try and get Boom Studios known for something.

    LMAO!!

    everyone must realize by now both parties accomplish next to nothing save for criticizing each other.

    i hope they do one on democrats, just to be fair and keep it in good fun. part of me wonders if this is a practical joke meant to get people foaming at the mouth over nothing.
