In next weeks' "Amazing Spider-man", not to be missed by Obamafans.


http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=19459

If you’re an “Amazing Spider-Man” completest, we suggest you get to your comic shop a little earlier than normal next week as the next issue is likely to fly off stands faster than you can say "Barack Obama."

The President Elect himself is precisely the reason why. USA Today is reporting that Barack Obama will appear in next Wednesday’s issue of “Amazing Spider-Man” #583 by Zeb Wells, Todd Nauck and Frank D'Armata. In the five-page back-up story, Spider-Man stops the Chameleon from spoiling the President Elect’s swearing in at his inauguration.

-snip-

The soon to be sworn in Obama has already had quite an impact in several comic book universes. He’s been endorsed by Erik Larsen’s “Savage Dragon,” had his own biography comic, was baited by Stephen Colbert with an autographed issue of “Amazing Spider-Man” featuring the conservative talk show host, and even peppered his own speech at the Al Smith Dinner in October with comics and pop culture references.

2. It does sound like Tony's in a heap of trouble
now that Norman Osborne has taken over SHIELD.

3. 1963 was in the midst of my comic buying heyday,
and I distinctly remember buying The Amazing Spider-Man #1. Like the comic books of many kids, it disappeared. Thanks Mom. Of course, back then I bought comics to actually read and not put untouched and unread into plastic bags to keep them forever safe.

4. Did they just call Cobert "conservative" in seriousness?
Wow. That's some severely misinformed or typoed mistake there.

6. iirc...
a based-on-Colbert talk-show character was in some marvel comic not long ago...he looked like and had the same mannerisms as Colbert, but his politics were comically over-the-top loony right wing...
