Two of the biggest buzz topics from 2008, Barack Obama and superheroes, have merged to create a new political, Spider-Man comic book. Marvel Comics is issuing a special inauguration month issue, “The Amazing Spider-Man” #583, featuring a cartoonified Obama on the cover. The issue itself includes an Obama thriller in which Spider-Man prevents a bad guy from taking his place as president. When this hits stands on Jan. 14, be sure to pick it up; this is sure to become a collector’s gem! (The gallery also includes The Clintons in Superman: The Man of Steel, Ronald Reagan in ‘Batman: The Dark Knight Returns,’ Jimmy Carter on the cover of ‘Superman vs. Muhammad Ali,’ Richard Nixon in ‘Watchmen,’ John F. Kennedy in Action Comics and Richard Nixon in From Beyond the Unknown.  Marvel editor in chief Joe Quesada said the idea for the "Spidey meets the President!" edition came from a statement from Obama's campaign listing 10 little known facts about the Democrat who will be America's first black president.
"Right at the top of that list was he collected Spider-Man comics," Quesada told Reuters in an interview on Thursday.
