Hot off the heels of a profitable DC cinematic universe energy play, Congressman Robert Garcia confirmed off a few of the nation’s most interesting comedian books.
While everybody else on capitol hill appears to be obsessive about categorized paperwork, DC-loving Congressman Robert Garcia is wielding his energy to get his fingers on even rarer gadgets: the comedian e-book assortment of the Library of Congress! Garcia, who was recently sworn in on, amongst different issues, a replica of Superman #1, took to twitter to point out off a few of the books his workplace grants him entry to.
In the video, Garcia exhibits off Superman #1, Batman #1, The Dark Knight Returns #1, Amazing Fantasy #27, and Sensation Comics #1. “Pulled some amazing books today from the Library of Congress,” Garcia tweeted. “I had a chance to read through some of the pages. An incredible honor for any comics nerd.” Garcia didn’t say whether or not he had completed something greater than learn by the pages, akin to roll round bare with the comics like that scene from Indecent Proposal, or toss them right into a swimming pool and dive into them Scrooge McDuck fashion, however he did not particularly deny doing these issues both, it is value noting.
In viewing the comics, Garcia fulfills a campaign promise to make use of the congressional studying room on the Library of Congress to take a look at some candy points. It’s not the primary time Garcia has used politics to additional his love of superheroes, particularly those from the DC Universe. Garcia just lately threatened congressional hearings if DCU co-head James Gunn did not release a plan for the DC cinematic universe by February 1st, and Gunn immediately acquiesced, issuing the plans inside 48 hours.
Elected as Mayor of Long Beach in 2014, Garcia was the youngest, first overtly homosexual, first Latino, and first Snyderbrony mayor of the town. He used his energy to advertise pro-DC insurance policies, akin to hiding secret DC fanboy messages, within the development of a brand new group heart and calling for the release of the Synder Cut of Justice League, a version of the 2016 film that restores the imaginative and prescient of director Zack Snyder, who was compelled to depart the challenge on account of a private tragedy. Alleged fake feminist Joss Whedon was introduced in to complete Snyder’s work, however as a substitute of respecting his imaginative and prescient, Whedon changed all of Snyder’s badass Superman scenes with scenes the place Cyborg says “booyah.” But Snyderbronies — the colloquial time period for hardcore followers of Zack Snyder — successfully campaigned for Warner Bros to release the Snyder Cut on HBO Max in 2021. Had Garcia held federal workplace, maybe we may have gotten the Snyder Cut even sooner.
Garcia, in the meantime, continued to ascend to nationwide energy, winning his election to California’s newly redrawn forty second District and being sworn in in 2023. Riding excessive off the momentum of bending James Gunn to his will and accessing a few of the nation’s most treasured comics, one can solely think about what feats Garcia may obtain subsequent. Perhaps Garcia may introduce laws to fight the rising prices of comics, or regulate the comedian e-book trade to ban super-mega-crossover occasions that shake comedian e-book universes to their foundations leaving nothing the identical once more to not more than two occasions per yr. If it was our alternative, nevertheless, we’d recommend launching a congressional investigation into the allegations that Wolverine has two dicks, to be able to discover out as soon as and for all whether or not one is for @#$%ing and the opposite for making love. The individuals of America have a proper to know.
