Barack the Barbarian!

This is too good to be true! I first spotted this over at Calvin's Canadian Cave of Cool and then dug up the story via Newsarama.com. I'll keep this short and just let them describe it...

BARACK THE BARBARIAN: QUEST FOR THE TREASURE OF STIMULI: Devil's Due and Larry Hama (G.I. Joe, Wolverine) take political satire to a whole new level. Hama, a surprise hire to some, but not to those who truly know his tastes, will take a look at the current state of politics both past and present and isn't afraid to point fun at Washinton's sacred cows. In the distant future the story of Barack Obama has become a little... distorted. According to THE MADDOWIAN CHRONICLES he was the one destined to save the great republic of America and dethrone the overpaid despots of the time. Join Barack, Sorceress Hilaria, her demi-god trickster husband Biil, Overlord Boosh and Chainknee of the Elephant Kingdom. Who can the lone barbarian trust, if anyone?

Geezus! That Palin drawing is effing disturbing because I can't stand the woman, and yet that drawing is sooo amazingly hot! I may need to go home for lunch today if you know what I mean.

I'll definitely give that comic a read.

Since Barack Obama is an admitted Conan fan, I'm sure that he's more excited than anybody else to see this come out.

I'm waiting for the one where he confronts the evil Pictish warlord Jon Mak Kane.
