Blindly following Obama is potentially just as dangerous as blindly hating Bush. Being informed is key and I hope that people pay as much attention to the issues as they do to his adventures in comic books.

I just don't know.. I mean it's all fun and games when it's done with political figures we naturally don't like anyway. It should be give and take I guess. How is this different the your standard political cartoon in a newspaper?<br>It's weird to see that's for sure.. and as for democracy? well this is what democracy is. Oh jeeze.. I just don't know..

It shows him as a primitive warrior, not presidential or intellectual. Just ridiculously strong and almost naked, with animal instincts. Don't even get me started on the "Screeching Enchantress". Barely-there bikini (I mean, it's what I always wear when I'm fighting for the death, but...), long blonde hair, cowering, mouth wide open for...well, you know.<br><br>Comics like these are sick in general, and when you use our president as the lead character, it just makes him and us look bad. On the other hand, I love the bio-comics! I personally love reading (auto)biography comics, so to have one about Barack would be great! Plus it's a good way to get the TL;DR crowd in the know.
