The book is as brilliant as it is uncomfortable, as Alfred and Ka merge together to [...]
Fast Action by Marvel Over the Spider-Man/Obama Comic
I have to give Marvel a lot of credit. Originally, the second printing of the Amazing Spider-Man issue with Barack Obama was going to come out on February 11th. “February 11th!” I thought, “Almost a month after the fact?” However, Marvel has reacted quickly and now they appear to be coming out with the second [...]
