President Obama Is The New Wolverine

So apparently the President Obama/Spider-Man team-up sold over 300,000 copies and, conceivably, may have sold tens of thousands of copies more outside of Direct Market channels. I just wanted to make note of this with its own post. If you consider the fact that many fans and some stores felt the issue was underordered in the places they chose to shop for it, that's an astonishing successful stunt offering. It's good to have stunt offerings hit right when the economy starts running around and punching small businesses in the kidneys with greater than ever intensity.

Also, I think if he turns out to be a resilient commander-in-chief, President Obama should be discussed in terms of having a healing factor.
