The Ultimate Collectible

It's the combination of iconic comic book culture and modern history ~ the web-slinger, Spider-Man, is getting a new character in an upcoming comic book (oops...graphic novel).  And it's none other than the President-Elect.  Not only is he going to be a star in the story itself, he's going to have a place on the cover.

Holy incognito!  The plot line is that someone is impersonating the President-Elect and trying to foil inauguration and it falls to our hero, Spidey, to figure out which is the real one and which is the fake.  Here's a heads up ~ the imposter is non other than the villain Chameleon. 

Turns out Barack Obama is a huge Spider Man fan ~ even collected the comic books as a child.  (Thank goodness he wasn't a Superman fan... yawn).  Thus the creation of Spidey Meets The President.  It's sure to be a collector's item, so if you can snag yourself a copy, hang onto it.  Other presidents have been featured in SpiderMan comics - from Nixon to Bush 1. 

It's going to be released on January 14. 

And yes, Mr. Obama thanks SpiderMan for saving the day with a fist bump.
