Did you get a copy of Spider-Man/Obama comic?
I was no where even close to getting because I dont collect Spider-Man. My comic store only had 40 copies and he just found out last Friday from Marvel.
No it's all perfectly straightforward. Spider-man fights some ex-McCain supporters and Obama says something thought provoking. We discover that Peter's attitudes, by pure coincidence, conform largely to the democrat's policies. There is a heart warming scene between Obama, Luke Cage, Bishop and Hobie Brown/The Prowler who hasn't been in comics for years (they have absolutely nothing in common and Hobie's a Republican) oddly the Red Skull shows up....
...who is obviously a Republican.
Then Obama shoots the Punisher in the face and promises change. He whispers in the scarlet's witches ear and she mutters three important words.

Kinda funny that they just borrowed a plot from a Booster Gold comic that came out back in like... '86, when Booster saves Reagan from an attempt to replace him with a shape-shifter....
It wasn't that bad, or that amazing. It really didn't do the whole "Obama-messiah" thing, or attempt to dilute complex political questions into simple comic-y sound bites. Just kind of fun. I actually laughed out loud at the Joe Biden joke...
I bought a copy only because this issue will probably be worth something down the road. As a matter of fact my comic book stor prolly is selling it for at least $10
Marvel is, in no way, shape, or form, trying to be "ground-breaking" with this comic book. It is a clear ploy to sell a comic like crazy, and it's working.
