Stephen Colbert to Appear in Spider-Man Comics?!

October 2, 2008 in Art,Comics with 4 Comments

Marvel recently announced that Stephen Colbert will be appearing in a new eight-page story featured in the upcoming issue of Amazing Spider-Man #573. Colbert’s character is a candidate for the U.S. Presidency in the Marvel Universe, and teams up with Spider-Man. Unbelievable.

This just might be enough to make me get into reading Spider-Man comics. I’ve never really been into your standard long running comics. Just too much story-line to catch up on. Sorry Dustin, please don’t kill me.

Visit Marvel’s official website for more information on the issue. They discuss the artists and writers involved in the project. Cool!

About Eric: Eric spends most of his time writing, taking pictures, reading, and hanging out with his (somewhat famous) chinchilla Mittens and bunny Rory. He teaches writing and literature at some local Philadelphia colleges and works in publishing. He knows absolutely nothing about sports, and is proud of it.

    Try reading the “Ultimate” line of Marvel comics, they basically just started them all over a few years ago. Less to keep up with.

    They are going to have to work hard to beat the old Avengers on the Tonight Show crossover….

    The only spider-man book I read now is Ultimate Spider-Man.

    Not even Stephen Colbert could get me reading the regular Spider-man books again.
