This is a marketing ploy of pure genius. Marvel Comics has gotten the hint from the many collector plate and painted coin ads from the Franklin Mint and has crafted a Spider-Man comic with our President-Elect on the cover and in the story. As mentioned on CNN, John King noted that, "Not even a superhero could rescue our economy, so I hope this doesn't add to the unrealistic expectations being placed on the president-elect." Wow. Let's read a bit more into the pulp pages of Spider Man Issue 583...
Anyway, on the news of this publication speculation is that the comic (which sells for about $4) will instantly be on eBay for at least $50 and will sell out almost immediately. There are already web-sites set up that can be found via Google JUST for selling this particular issue to Obamamaniacs. Truly awesome.
