The White House Admits Trump is a Sith Lord

Posted on May 4, 2025 by Brett

President Trump‘s failure of a government keeps on failing. For “May the 4th,” the various social media teams did tie-in posts with most failing in spectacular ways. Maybe they were just early for “Revenge of the Sixth“?

The White House posted a photo of President Trump roided up with a Red Lightsaber. Anyone with basic knowledge knows that Red Lightsabers are wielded by the Sith, the bad guys who create a fascist government of tyranny and commit genocide and mass murder in multiple ways. Well at least they’ve come out of the shadows. We propose Darth Idiot for Trump’s Sith Lord name. Since there’s always two, never more, does that make JD Vance his apprentice? Darth Eyeliner or Darth Couchfucker are appropriate Sith Lord names for him.

The U.S. Army Pacific gets half credit for their work with admitting there’s Sith within their ranks (appropriate since we know there’s white supremacists who train within in the army to spread their knowledge after). While the first soldier has a Blue Lightsaber, the second soldier has a red one and looks like he’s about to cut down his squad mate like Vader did to Obi-wan or Qui-Gon did to Maul. Maybe he’s going all Order 66?

Now, with a lot of fail, the DOD Rapid Response at least got most of the assignment right. While some of the stats are likely bullshit, the team there gave us a scrolling opening like the movies and at least go the Lightsaber colors right at the end.

100 days later….

Zachary Sherman will be signing comics and collector’s edition posters at IDW’s booth (#309) on Friday, April 18 from 3:00-4:00pm and on Saturday, April 19 from 11:00am -12:00pm.

IDW To Feature America’s Army in Digital Distribution Agreement

Posted on June 14, 2013 by Brett

IDW and the U.S. Army announced today they have entered into an all-new digital distribution agreement to feature the U.S. Army’s America’s Army Comics on virtually every digital platform — the IDW Comics app; Comics by comiXology for iOS, Android, Kindle Fire, Nook, Windows 8 and the Web; Apple iBooks; Amazon Kindle; Barnes & Noble Nook; and Kobo. The America’s Army Comics let readers delve into the storyline behind the highly successful America’s Army PC game that provides players an inside perspective and virtual role in the U.S. Army.

For over eleven years America’s Army players have been able to experience Army-influenced training and missions as they learned about the necessity of teamwork and leadership for success. The America’s Army Comics were created as a way to let players further explore the game’s storyline and character plots of Soldiers’ lives when deployed or at home. Initially launched for America’s Army 3, the new America’s Army Comics are setting the stage for the upcoming America’s Army: Proving Grounds game to be launched later this year.

America’s Army Comics tell the story of U.S. Soldiers deployed to Czervenia, a tiny foreign nation in the middle of a chaotic conflict. From a seemingly insignificant nation of Czervenia, President-General Adzic and his army set upon a campaign of annihilation against the neighboring Republic of the Ostregals, setting in motion a mysterious plan that could change the course of world power forever. America’s Army must create new experimental combat teams, forged together in secret Proving Grounds, and uncover the General’s insidious plot before time runs out.

Today’s announcement kicks off with the release of four America’s Army Comics — America’s Army Issue 1: Knowledge is Power, America’s Army Issue 2: Rise to the Challenge, America’s Army Issue 3: Under a Watchful Eye and America’s Army Issue 4: Escalation. Over the coming months, the Army will release new issues that further the plot for the game’s missions and maps.

The America’s Army comic series is produced by Michael Barnett and written by M. Zachary Sherman. At the upcoming San Diego Comic-Con, M. Zachary Sherman and comic book artist Scott Brooks will be signing special edition art and comics at the IDW booth.
