The comic itself has nothing to do with Obama's ethnicity, though. If you want to call the election ground-breaking, go ahead, but I'd have to argue against someone who claims Marvel was seeing anything but dollar signs with an opportunity like this.
Originally posted by H. S. 6I've seen George Bush featured in several comics, yet his appearances in them were never even talked about, let alone cause a stir. So I'd say Obama being the first real-world black President featured in a comic had something to do with it's success.

But yes, it was all about the proverbial Benjamins' for Marvel. I never argued that.

Yeah, I understand Marvel is trying to be 'ground breaking' or whatever, but they just seem to be digging deep as of late.... Pathetically deep. ermm
*sniff* I smell ass-kissing.
And people wonder why I quit supporting Marvel.
And on that note, holy CRAP that was horribly written! Oh my lord, who wrote this? A ten year old? That may well have been one of the worst written comic stories I've ever seen in my life, and I'm not joking.

Then you've clearly not read any of Jeph Loeb's recent stuff ❌
