Spidey goes to the inauguration

Considering the expectations being placed on him, Barack Obama needs all the help he can get - even from superheroes.

The upcoming edition of Marvel Comics' The Amazing Spider-Man will feature the president-elect in a story - and on the cover. It hits comics stores on Wednesday, Jan. 14.

In the story, Spider-Man's alter ego Peter Parker is photographing the inaugural when he sees an old enemy attempting to stop Obama's swearing-in.

Marvel's editor-in-chief, Joe Quesada, said in a statement, "when we heard that President-Elect Obama is a collector of Spider-Man comics, we knew that these two historic figures had to meet in our comics' Marvel Universe."
