Brothers from different mothers, bromancing history to save us from Trump.
These are the continuing adventures of Barack Obama and Joe Biden, time traveling superheroes in search of a brighter future for America.
Moments after the inauguration of our 45th President, best friends Barack Obama and Joe Biden were escorted to a secret lab run by the world’s greatest scientists. They were asked to take off all their clothes and hold very still in a fetal position until they felt a painful tingling sensation. Then they vanished. They would awake to find themselves apart, and inside their younger bodies—driven to find each other and change history for the better. Their faithful guide on this journey is Samuel L. Jackson, a brilliant actor from the present who appears in the form of an augmented reality that only they can see and hear. And thus, they find themselves leaping through time, striving to right injustice wherever they find it, looking for a world which they can proudly call home.
A visual feast that’s both graphic and novel, this book is a love letter to cheesy science fiction and the two men who can still be counted on to inspire us. Featuring comics produced by Titmouse Inc (Big Mouth, The Venture Bros.), it’s 224 pages of adventure that will melt your snowflake brain and give you hope for humanity at the same time.

"So, Im proud to say I went outside my comfort zone and was invited to work on this crazy Barack Obama/Joe Biden project and asked... WTH? For me its a Work for Hire gig, I'm a long time main stream comic book artist, Im not politically motivated nor did that matter in this case, because its not a project that is driven by politics, treated more as a backdrop then anything.
I co-created 5 faux covers for the book interior and just received an advance copy of the 220+ page hardcover. When I opened the book, I immediately realized that this was no ordinary book.. in fact Ive never seen anything like it. Crazy man, friend and author Adam Reid really must have had an out-of-body experience creating this highly energetic collection of ideas, short stories, plays and comic stories because having ex-president Obama and ex-vice president Biden wresting an octopus is about as outlandish as anything I could ever imagine.. and remember Ive drawn comics for many years!
The book is an overall treat for the senses, Im not saying that because I had a hand in helping create some of it.... OK, maybe just a little bit of that, but if I were browsing a bookstore, however extinct bookstores are these days, I would have a hard time putting down The Adventures of Barry and Joe!~"

The Adventures of Barry Joe Obama and Biden Bromantic Battle for the Soul of America Adam Reid 9780062882905 Books Reviews
- I love this book so much. It's a treasure trove of creative gems – sensational art, writing that is wicked funny and smart, and a play (yes, an actual play). It's so full of pop culture references from the last 40 years that it's somehow both a product of our times and timeless as well. A beautifully produced work of art that doesn't take itself too seriously. Highly recommend!
- What fun! This graphic novel is clever, original, and imaginative. The fantastic adventures of this dynamic duo outshine all others. It is really quite believable, considering how well we have all come to know and admire "Barry and Joe."
- Full disclosure... I am the author's wife. Ha! But seriously - my husband is a mad genius. Originally while he was writing it, I was sure this book wasn't going to be for me. It was for comic book people and nerds - not exactly my genres of choice. But while my husband is a time-travel, sci-fi geek - he is also super sensitive and his sensitivity and intelligence are all over this. The relationship between Obama and Biden is written with so much humor and also emotion. Reading it I was filled with nostalgia - for the brighter and more hopeful feeling I used to have when they were the leaders of our country. I even got teary and I wasn't expecting that! Hope is a thread through each story and hopeful and optimistic is where this book leaves you. Besides the writing, there is so much unbelievable art made by a huge collection of super talented artists. If anything - Adam (my husband) committed so hardcore to just letting his crazy flag fly - that it is highly entertaining just to see what the hell he comes up with next. Buy this book for you or gift it and make someone's day!
- When the the release date came across my social feeds I got excited, which hurts my bank account every time. I wanted the hardcover because the tease of the artwork alone told me it belongs on my bookshelf between Calvin & Hobbes and The Killing Joke, but ‘one day shipping’ is just too slow. So I read my digital copy this morning and made space on the shelf for the hardcover arrival tomorrow...and I’m so glad I did. Inevitably, I will need to pull this book off the shelf and hand it around because my descriptions alone will do it no justice. For those of you not in my living room i’ll Just say this; If you now or have ever loved cartoons, buddy comedies, time travel, adventure, laughing, that slight “I wish this were real†ping, and of course Sam “mother#$!@ing†Jackson, you will love this book. Hopefully you don’t need to read more reviews after that sentence. I’m trying to help you get to that next level, where this book is a part of your collection, as quickly as possible. Don’t thank me, thank the passionate folks who made this a ‘must have’ book.

OK, maybe just a little bit of that, but if I were browsing a bookstore, however extinct bookstores are these days, I would have a hard time putting down The Adventures of Barry and Joe!~ - If you liked Quantum Leap, you'll love Barry and Joe. If you don't know what Quantum leap is, you'll probably love it even more. (And also you should go back and watch Quantum Leap).
For the past few years, we've all been living in a world where we hoped B&J could come back for a visit and maybe kick some ass in giant robot suits along the way and now that day is here.
Adam Reid's creativity is equal parts entertaining, thought provoking, hysterical and highly sobering. The graphic novel style art work mixed with the mystique of the prose (scrolled across draft paper) is awesome. And who doesn't want to see comic book RBG kicking ass with a giant war hammer gavel?
Buy this for the kindle and you get all the art work digitally but personally, I think there's no replacement for the hard cover copy for the artwork. - What a fun ride! Wait... Let me start over. What a fun LEAP! I can't remember sustaining a smile for such an extended period of time. THE ADVENTURES OF BARRY AND JOE had me flipping, laughing and cheering on our would-be heroes through every adventure. This book has heart, humor and as you read it you can't help but wonder what another amazing stories are clawing around in Reid's head (like phone crazed democratic zombies) just waiting to come out. The writing is superb, the artwork and detail are stunning, the cameos are surprising and the easter eggs are endless. There are enough 80s pop references in here to fill One Eyed Willie's pirate ship! I found the same joy in reading THE ADVENTURES OF BARRY AND JOE as I did READY PLAYER ONE. This book is exactly what this country needs right now. Historical fiction meets hollywood satire meets a long hard eye roll in the mirror. A bromantic and gigantic time traveling fist bump goes out to the author... Barry and Joe may be on a mission to save the soul of this great nation, but Reid is the real hero here.
