President Elect Barak Obama loved Spider-Man and Conan the Barbarian comics as he grew up. His Senate Web site used to have a photo of him posing in front of a Superman statue.
Marvel Comics has announced it will give the president-elect a “shout-out back” by featuring him in a bonus story, said Joe Quesada, Marvel’s editor-in-chief.
The comic starts with Spider-Man’s alter-ego Peter Parker taking photographs at the inauguration, before spotting two identical Obamas, according to the Associated Press.
Parker notices a Barak impostor, then Spiderman picks out the poser somehow with a basketball, then punches the impostor’s lights out to save the inauguration.
Good thing Spidey was there.
Per Family Guy when it comes to SpiderMan, “Everybody gets one.”
The Obama story is a bonus in Marvel Comic’s Amazing Spider-Man #583, available in comic book shops nationwide on Jan. 14 for $3.99 and is expected to sell out, with half the covers devoted to Obama.
