\"Ash<\/a><\/div>\n

Whilst perusing a CBR article on Joshua WIlliamson’s “Necessary Evil”<\/a> project (coming soon to Cartoon Network), an ad caught our eye.<\/p>\n

Army of Darkness: Ash Saves Obama #1<\/strong>, it says. Coming August 2009<\/a> from Dynamite Entertainment, it boasts. Being a sucker for sensationalist entertainment we clicked and did not find the content advertised. Being OCD’s bitch, we ran to Google for quick information\/assistance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

He\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s faced them all, but Ashley J. Williams is about to face the greatest horror of his entire deadite-kickin\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 career \u00e2\u20ac\u201c a comic book convention<\/a>! But this ain\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t any ol\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 comic book convention, this one features a special appearance from the President of the United States of America \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Barack Obama! <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

President Obama in comics<\/a> is not a new thing. Politics in comics<\/a> is most assuredly not new either<\/a>. This “Obama Effect” has been a curious thing to watch unfold.<\/p>\n

“… the ‘Obama Effect’ was something that took everyone by surprise<\/a>. Newspapers that were struggling with circulation were selling in huge numbers after Obama’s election and up to the Inauguration. People just wanted to have a keepsake of that historic moment. Then the OE hit comics, which was equally surprising. Now, if history has told us anything, it’s when someone comes across a formula that works, everyone tries to duplicate it. Can anyone say Ninja Turtles?” <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So we’ve summed up the recent rash of multi-Presidential crossover event comics to everyone wanting a piece of hot ninja turtle?<\/p>\n

Nice.<\/p>\n
