Nerd Alert: Obama Joins Forces With Spider-Man

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.
