Barack Obama to team up with every comic book ever

Another day, another comic book appearance by comic book fan Barack Obama.

Barack Obama's appearance in the latest issue of Marvel Comics' "Amazing Spider-Man" sold out really quickly across the nation, with most copies gone within hours of going on sale on Wednesday. Midtown Comics' Times Square store reported having people lining up down the block, braving the cold weather to get a copy of the issue with the Obama variant copy, which was sold out by about 4:30 p.m.

Image Comics had beaten Marvel to the punch, though, previously having Obama appear (and get endorsed by the green finned character) on the cover of "Savage Dragon" No. 137 by Erik Larson, which also sold out pretty quick a few months ago. He's going to be appearing again in February in issue No. 145 of "Savage Dragon," as well as "Youngblood" No. 8 by Rob Liefeld, shown at the top of the page.

One can only wonder what comic Barack will show up in next. Here's my vote:
