"This all new story written by Zeb Wells and art by Todd Nauck and Frank D’Armata takes place in Washington, D.C. on Inauguration Day and finds one of Spider-Man’s oldest foes attempting to thwart the swearing in ceremony of the 44th President of the United States. The story will be featured as a bonus story in Marvel Comic’s Amazing Spider-Man #583, available in comic book shops nation-wide on January 14th, 2009. A special variant cover by artist Phil Jimenez featuring the President-Elect and Spider-Man will be available for this issue."
“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,” Marvel Editor-in-Chief Joe Quesada said in the release. “Historic moments such as this one can be reflected in our comics because the Marvel Universe is set in the real world. A Spider-Man fan moving into the Oval Office is an event that must be commemorated in the pages of Amazing Spider-Man.”
Note: I'm getting lots of search hits from people seeking to buy or pre-order the Spidey comic.
If you want a copy, your best bet is to visit your local comic book store on Jan. 14 and buy it. Normally, issues of new comics run $2.99. To find a shop near you click here.
People also are starting to offer up the issue on Web auction sites, too, of course. At ridiculous prices (i.e. around $20 at the moment). I'd imagine prices will be lower once the issue actually hits the stands. But you can check this ad below to see:
Again, though, a comic shop is the place to go.
