Obama teams up with Spider-Man in upcoming comic book
Monday, January 12th, 2009
As we near the eve of Barack Obama’s inauguration, all you Obamaphiles may want to swing over to your local comic shop on Wednesday and pick up a copy AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #583. In this issue, Spider-Man is in D.C. on Inauguration Day and teams up with the “Yes we can” man himself to stop a plot to thwart the swearing in of America’s 44th president.
Obama has been a long-time collector of Spider-Man comics so it seems only fitting that Marvel will give him some props. Now don’t expect to see Obama in a super suit, but you you’re sure to see an “Obama bop” between he and the web slinger to show up in a frame or two.
AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #583 hits the shelves nationwide Wednesday, January 14, 2009. Look for special variant covers featuring the President-Elect and Spider-Man to be featured on nearly half of the printed issues.
