On Jan. 8, Marvel released a special inauguration issue of Spider-Man with Barack Obama on the cover. The edition has already sold out twice and is currently rushing into a third printing. Marvel is warning comic stores to get their orders in on time to stave off marauding hordes, even though the third printing will feature a slightly different cover. The first-edition copies can be bought right now for over $100 on eBay (retail price was $3.99).
