Spidey Sense Tingling

Why, this might be the greatest convergence of politics and pop culture since Richard Nixon appeared on "Laugh-In"! Or, at the very least, since Bill Clinton appeared on the "Arsenio Hall Show."

My favorite part of the story:

The comic starts with Spider-Man's alter-ego Peter Parker taking photographs at the inauguration, before spotting two identical Obamas. Parker decides "the future president's gonna need Spider-Man," and springs into action, using basketball to determine the real Obama and punching out the impostor.

Geez, Spidey. What if Obama was having an off night on the basketball court? You might have ended up punching out the president-elect. Talk about being trigger-happy.
