Chun-Li, Juri, Poison, Guile, and more show off their favorite summer attire, and are sure to raise the temperature of every Street Fighter fan! Keep your eyes peeled for guest appearances from the cast of Darkstalkers, Rival Schools, and Final Fight!"

The book features a cover by Rob Porter and interior work from more than 60 artists.

BALLOT BOX COMICS: Devil's Due Comics has announced the formation of Ballot Box Comics: an imprint dedicated to "progressive politics and populist movements that challenge both the right and the center-left."

"We've never thought of comics books as being limited to a specific genre," said Josh Blaylock, who founded Devil's Due nearly 20 years ago. "They're a powerful medium for all kinds of stories to be told. And with Ballot Box Comics, we're excited to create engaging content with a political leaning, that pushes back against this administration's off-the-rails status quo."

Ballot Box Comics' flagship release is Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the Freshman Force: Ballot Box Collection. a 144-page trade paperback that will be available on April 22.

The book is full of short-form comics (depicting AOC, her Squad, and Bernie Sanders as corruption-fighting superheroes), satirical games, puzzles, Trump and GOP skewering and more. Conceived by Blaylock, The Ballot Box Collection features contributions by numerous artists, and contains three stories.
