"Meet Beth Ross, the first teenaged President of the United States. In a nation where corporations can run for office, the poor are used as human billboards, and tacos are delivered by drone, our only hope is this nineteen-year-old Twitter sensation. But the real question isn't whether she's ready for politics--it's whether politics is ready for her. Writer Mark Russell (GOD IS DISAPPOINTED IN YOU) and artist Ben Caldwell (STAR WARS: CLONE WEARS) take on the most unexpected DC Comics title in years! Collects PREZ #1-6"--

oh my god, this is so funny and weird and sharp. I kept texting random panels to friends while I was reading because some of the jokes were so funny that I just had to share them even out of context. Ben Caldwell's art really sells it too–the newscaster's face when she announces 10 million dead in the Twitter Wars KILLED ME. (Ten million and ONE dead.)
I was sort of familiar with the original Prez series, mainly because it somehow had a crossover with Sandman at some point?! So I know there were a few callbacks to that in the new Prez, but I don't think it really matters if you're not at all familiar with it. I think that any kind of politically-minded teens will be primed to get the world of social-media obsessed corporate personhood that President Beth Ross is fighting against. There are some risque jokes that make it best recommended to teens but they might just go over the head of interested tweens, idk.
