Review: The Obama Comic Series

If our new president is good at one thing its getting a good franchise. The newest to this list is a comic book about the man's life. I had a chance to read this and give you a few story spoilers. Some of it will sound familiar.


Obama #1: The man of Amerikon

On his home planet of Amerikon he was born only to be jetted off to the Milky Way Galaxy to Earth. Because of the powers of the Democratic sun he had enhanced change powers. He grew up in stature and promise, receiving the education of the thirteen kings of the world. One day Obama fell into a well and some bushes fell on him. It scared him half to death, but inspired him to become the Dark Brotha President. Meanwhile, his archnemisis Dr. Republican owns the world under the evil rule of Anti-Change.

Obama # 2: Change!

Obama must gather up the huddled masses and start a revolution against Dr. Republican. Finding a group of heroes, The Reformer, Dr. Strange Marriage and Mystery Michelle, he decides to go against the empire of Dr. Republican. The Fanatic Four storm his evil hideout and start changing everything in is office. The slaves of Americopolis begin to revolt and use their nuclear voting powers to give Obama energy. Obama marshalls his strength and whispers the word "Hope" in Dr. Republican's ear causing his head to explode. Turning to his beloved fans, Obama gives his rally cry: "Change to the universe." Then he flies away.

Obama # 3: Of Gods and Mortals

The people of Amerikopolis begin to erect statues and altars for the new hero, Obama. All seems right in the universe until a new enemy appears: Commodore Life. He starts to threaten Amerikopolis by making an army of undead zombie cabbage patch kids. The people of Amerikopolis were powerless because there was no way to get rid of all those kids. Obama, uses his atomic change-o-ray and starts to make a law that allows the citizens to get rid of those evil babies (by any means necessary). With the babies disposed of, Amerikopis goes back to its priority agenda--loving Obama.

In later issues Obama will stop a galactic war just by hugging soldiers and insurgents...
