Enter Obama: Comic’s New Cool Factor

I'm all for change. Change is good. President Obama has been good so far -- in the real world, but his entry into the comic book world has to stop. Ever since he was elected, he has graced the pages of Spider-Man and a few others in subtle cameo appearances. It would seem that Obama is way cooler than Bush, which is fine, but should he be in comic books? -- NO effing way! Comic books has always been a place to explore political subtext, while heroes wear spandex and beat the shit out of villains, which is always cool, but sometimes it can be slightly overt. However, this is some blatant shit! President Obama is going to be featured in a new comic book, albeit a whack one, called Youngblood. It's a horrible comic book title that the 90's tried to forget and yet it resurfaced. In it, Obama seems to be able to handle himself after a few secret service men are shot in the head and he's left to defend himself. Didn't know he could. I have no clue who's idea this was, but it's not something that's going to sell books! DORKS!!! And besides, it's frikkin' Youngblood! Rob Liefield's baby. You remember him? He did that Levi's 501 commerical years ago with Spike Lee, while he was drawing a wholey-awesomer book called X-Force? Hmmm...maybe not. That's just me then. Carry on.
