Obama and Spider-Man appear in comic together

Oh, you better believe I'm getting this one.

WASHINGTON -- Spider-Man has a new sidekick: The president-elect.

Barack Obama collected Spider-Man comics as a child, so Marvel Comics wanted to give him a "shout-out back" by featuring him in a bonus story, said Joe Quesada, Marvel's editor-in-chief.

"How great is that? The commander in chief to be is actually a nerd in chief," Quesada said. "It was really, really cool to see that we had a geek in the White House. We're all thrilled with that."

1. Sorry, but this is kind of wrong.......

Treating the President like some kind of hero or fad is bound to disappoint a few people once he's proven to be, well, human. ;)

3. I hope Obama doesn't rub off on Spidey

Before long, he'll be recruiting Doctor Octopus and Green Goblin to help foil bank robberies.

Gotta be pragmatic, you know.

4. Nice, but over the past few days this has been posted a number of times.

Old news, I'm afraid.
