If you thought the Spider-Man and Obama inauguration special comic was a bit weird, wait until you see where Spider-Man ends up next!
Marvel Comics is slated to release a special 6-page free digital comic on President’s Day (February 16, 2009) that puts Spider-Man and Captain America at the place where Abraham Lincoln gave his Gettysburg address! The name of the digital issue is “Gettysburg Distress” and the story is written by Matt Fraction with artwork by Andy MacDonald. The story is supposedly a tribute to the 200th anniversary of the birth of Lincoln.
Mark your calendars for Monday so you can download and read up on Lincoln chilling with Spider-Man and Captain America. This should be good.

And the Obama money-milking machines continues to roll on through…
Believe it or not, Marvel Comics is commemorating the historic inauguration of Barack Obama by releasing an all-new Marvel comic called “Spidey Meets The President!”.
According to Marvel, this is what the issue will be about:
Written by Zeb Wells with art by Todd Nauck and Frank D’Armata, the story takes place in Washington, D.C. on Inauguration Day and finds one of Spider-Man’s oldest foes attempting to thwart the swearing in ceremony of the 44th President of the United States.
This particular issue will go on sale beginning January 14, 2009 for only $3.99. And you can pretty much bet that it’ll be sold out simply because it has Barack Obama in it. Expect it to fetch hefty sums on eBay…
