The rating will be in parentheses and is the average rating for the issues published within the last three months.

Prez (8.8)

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. Don't miss this 12-issue miniseries!
