Here is the story: http://blog.wired.com/underwire/2009/01/obama-gets-gues.html


I thought it was interesting and it was on the news here last night and apparently the variant cover [above] had already sold out to collectors and non-collectors alike.

Yeah, kind of retarded imo.

Kind of makes me sick how many people are trying to take advantage of Obama's near fanatical following.

I mean all the commemorative plates/coins too. Just makes me sad

He's too much of a celebrity to be a president. In the UK all we hear is Barack Obama this Barack Obama that. The problem is, he is sooo popular and, I mean no offense by this, but he may well turn out like JFK, because he is so popular.

Hmmm, I must've missed the George W. Bush conmemorative issue or, for that matter, the Bill Clinton one.

I think the main reason marvel done this was because when Obama become he declared he stated he was huge fan of spider man and actually collected the comics and has one huge collection, so marvel had planned before he was made president, that they would make a copy with him in it.

Where do you get this comic may get one as a future investment lol?

They're pretty much sold out EVERYWHERE now..

It really sucks, but after the hype dies down it'll be easier to find and cheaper too..

I heard it's upwards of 70 bucks on ebay right now and 20 for the regular cover.

The same thing happened like 2 years ago when Captain America died, all these people who don't even read comics went out a bought it because they thought they could make big bucks on it and a month later it was back down to 15 bucks for each cover when it was around 100 when it came out.
