Jan 10 2009Barack Obama To Star In Spider-Man Comic
Did you know Barack Obama collected Spider-Man comics? I didn't. But since he is such a big fan, Marvel artists have decided to feature Barack in a special inaugural issue.
Mr Obama's fan status was revealed by his campaign team, who released 10 little-known facts about the Democrat. "Right at the top of that list was he collected Spider-Man comics"
In the six-page story, an impostor poses as the new president on inauguration day in a dubious attempt to cop a ride in the new presidential limo. That's when Spidey has to swing in and bust the proverbial web.
When an imposter turns up, Spider-Man leaps into action, greeting Mr Obama with the words: "Hiya, prez-elect! Loved ya in the debates."
Hiya, prez-elect? Loved ya in the debates? WTF, Spiderman? Next time I think it's best if you just just keep your mouth closed. And also, the zipper of that costume -- I think I saw your Spidey-bits.

Thanks to Jennaiii and Canoboy, who are immune to spider bites because they were both bit by black widows in utero.

@4
Short answer: You can't. I was at the comic book shop yesterday (not for this) and people were grilling the clerk over the book. You may have to lurk outside the shops for the shipment or eBay.

FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max is driving his car and gets transported back to midevil times. He's captured by Lord Arthur, and spinach chin, and he not only does battle with the deadites he fights off an undead army of skeletons, many of whom are wearing sneakers.
Later he gets back to his time but the evil wench follows him back to S-Mart. He fights her off and get the chick in the end. We never get to see which end though.......

"Obamarama" is getting a little old these days, everyone thinks the guy is greater than all that is great & the truth is nobody knows WTF he's going to do.
That's why I shop S-Mart

I was fooled when Marvel issued a Spiderman + Steven Colbert comic. I ordered two from my local comic store. When I picked it up, it didn't have the picture I'd expected on the cover.
It turns out that a given "issue" can have many covers. I was told that the store would have had to order 250 copies to get the one I wanted.
So guess what I'm not falling for this time!

In the next issue Barack is found to have a venom symbiote and disbands congress.
Following that, he has an illicit affair with Mary J and their offspring is replaced with a time traveling Bill Clinton inutero so he can claim that he had sex with Mary J during birth, then inherits the Throne of America in an alternate timeline. In another timeline, the baby Clinton becomes the fifth horseman of apocalypse, Lusto, and uses his cigar based powers to mate with woman around the world.

Jesus, does Daisy have nothing better to do than post the same stupid "joke" on every post? It's not funny. Is it an actual person or just a javascript? So lame.

FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie Tender Dracula where Dracula drives out to the woods with his wife to stay in her father's cabin. They want some mood music and find a bunch of tapes.
Dracula's wife really digs the music and goes out for a dance. Dracula takes offense at her gyrations and takes her head off with a spade.

FAKE!!!!

This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Give Up where Daisy is driving her car and gets transported into the Geekology website where many of her friends are wearing sneakers with holes in the bottom, because the "spiderman meets obama" comic book page patches wore out a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away.
Later she gets back to her job at the shoe emporium " S-Mart". She fights off all the local shoeless people, kind of like Al Bundy... and gets her 15 minutes of fame in the end. We never get to see which end though.......

How soon do you think we'll get to see the "Zombie Obama" variant cover?

As if it wasn't bad enough he will ruin the country even more than Bush did, he had to ruin Spider-Man to warm himself up!

Spidey-bits... I wonder what those look like? Thanks GW, I'll have that strange thought in my head all damned day...
31. Right Fury - January 12, 2009 3:15 PM
FAKE!!!!
You can tell it's fake because they elected and empty suit with 0 accomplishments.
This is just like the scene from the movie where that one guy told a bunch of bullshit lies and 52% of the population believed it. Then that guy turned out to be the antichrist and now he's laughing his head off while you're burnin' in hell...fool.

@31 and the funny part is that Obama People brag that he won by over 8 million votes. Which goes to show that more then half of America is ill educated In fact over 8 million more people Are that stupid!
