    Nerd Alert: Obama Joins Forces With Spider-Man

    Posted:
    01/8/09
    Apparently the president-elect collected Conan the Barbarian and Spider-Man comics as a kid. As a tribute to Obama's geeky side, Marvel Comics decided to feature him in a bonus story available this month.
    The comic starts with Spider-Man's alter-ego Peter Parker taking photographs at the inauguration, before spotting two identical Obamas.

    Parker decides "the future president's gonna need Spider-Man," and springs into action, using basketball to determine the real Obama and punching out the impostor.

    Obama thanks him with a fist-bump.

    Channeling my inner Comic Book Guy: "Lamest plot line ever."

    I guess this one's strictly for the (Democrat) collectors. Amazing Spider-Man #583 will be out Jan. 14.
