Much has been made about Barack Obama’s love of comics and the apparent love for the President by the comics industry and many have been the appearances by the super citizen within the pages and covers of comics. Coming Wednesday, President Obama hosts Wakandan head of state, Princess Shuri, the new Black Panther in Black Panther #7.

It’s always good policy to meet with a new leaders and establish those ever important political ties. But this is Marvel Comics, Mr. President! If the White House is attacked by Klaw or M’Baku, the Man-Ape you may long for the simpler days of shaking hands with Hugo Chavez.

“When Chris and I were putting the book together, we thought of all the cool places the PAs could go and meet other powerful animals…the moon, the Savage Land, the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, the Jurassic Era…and then we thought, well, shouldn’t they go meet the most POWERFUL animal in the world?” said series editor Nate Cosby. “Long story short, the Puppy-In-Chief plays a HUGE role in the Pet Avengers’ GREATEST BATTLE VERSUS…I’ve said too much.”

Below are the covers (two versions to collect) and the famous panel in which Bo meets Lockjaw. Woof!

When Titans Meet!

In 1976, Marvel and DC comics shocked the world by doing what no one said was possible. They brought iconic characters Spider-Man and Superman together for one great adventure. Two heroes crossing over dimensional barriers to achieve and impossible team-up. Such titans never before had met and surely the day of any such pairing would never come again……..

That is until Spider-Man crashed the inauguration of one President Elect Barack Obama! What Earth shaking adventure would these two titans share? Uh…well as it turned out, not really much of any ‘onscreen’ time together at all. But putting the face of the esteemed first citizen on the cover of one’s comic turned out to be shrewd business. Five printings later the web headed one has an unqualified sales smash on his hands.
