Obama Meets Spider-Man Comic Expected to Sellout


The comic will be out tomorrow. Read more about Obama's appearance in the Amazing Spider-Man here.
"Even Spider-Man couldn't solve the economy" - uh-oh:

Comics Reporter says that Marvel created a comic that's the equivalent of the commemorative plate:
It would just be a whole lot nicer if a company that has concentrated on story the last decade or so to astounding benefit made a solid comic out of the event rather than a kind of cruddy-looking, cynical one. It's not like there aren't a lot of stories you could tell there. What Marvel did instead seems to have more in common with a commemorative plate than the kind of gripping, pulpy narrative President-Elect Obama as a young man likely found solace in years and years ago.
