baracksploitation
Hilarious article from the AV Club on yet another Obama comic book cover. This is something I deal with every day I work at the comic book store--the Obama/Spiderman comic book is still a huge seller, even on the fifth printing. A lot of people seem to be buying it for novelty purposes or as a souvenir, but there are some serious Obama memorabilia collectors as well. Savage Dragon #145 (as mentioned in the linked article) has a whole bunch of variant covers--my favorite (for amusement/bemusement reasons) involves Obama giving Savage Dragon a fist bump. Tres presidential! For realsies, though, I find the Obamamania of comic books (and its buyers) to be endlessly entertaining.
